Hi Nick,


Thanks. I should have believed the seller when he said Englisches Flugzeug.The markings just 'looked' french.

Rather odd to see Thieffry more or less unwounded in these photos

According to Walter Pieters he was treated in three different hospitals after being shot down

It was S4505 and Nutt was shot down by Buchner Jasta 13 one of his 4 claims (date was actually the 26th) buried in Meuse-Argonne Cemetery; he was awarded the DSC and there's quite a lot about him on the net.
There were around 70 Allied losses this day, one of the costliest.

Clint

The SPAD you refer to is S3596
There is a much better stereo negative showing the serial number very clearly

Not sure if they were from this sale or a previous one, ain't gone through them again this time
