Photo Spad

[Buckeye30]

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.

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

Cheers

Thanks Stig. Damn eyesight. Same plane,same occasion, but from a different angle. I suspect the sellers Fokker D.VII photos are all of the same machine too,though I don't think the serial was visible on any other photo.I believe that all photos with today's date are new. I can't 100 percent swear that the aircraft in question hasn't been seen before,but I've only really taken a interesr in those with serials.

I guess they are.
I also no longer bother about photos where you can't make a positive ID.
Of course if the photo is somewhat unique I tend to make exceptions....
