Re: Captured British Aircraft

Hello,


Since posting the last link to the Airco DH.4, I have received a copy of Les Rogers British Aviation Squadron Markings of World War I. On P.25 there are two photos of A2170, also a DH.4, of 25 Squadron with the drunken crescent moon image shown on the aircraft above, so perhaps it too is a 25 Squadron machine?


One of the photos can be seen here:

Re: Captured British Aircraft

Yes Clint

Must be No 25 Sq.
Looks like A76xx to me. If so there are four possible aircraft
A7664 missing 27 Mar 1918
A7670 missing 27 June 1918
A7680 missing 5 Feb 1918
A7697 missing 26.2.1918

Cheers
Stig

Re: Captured British Aircraft

Looks pretty undamaged to me

Since A856 was lost on a night raid 21.9.1917, I suppose either the engine gave up or the aircrew lost their bearings and landed inside enemy territory.

Is the prop gone or is it just alined horizontally?

Cheers
Stig
