This has been on sale before. Only difference is that De Veynes first name was quoted as Jacques. Checking 'The French Air Service war chronology' Bailey/Cony tend to agree. How certain is Jean??

Hi,

Read Jean

From "Base de données des personnels naviguant ou au sol de l'aéronautique militaire au cours de la Grande Guerre"

Thanks Bertrand

I can see the problem. There were two de Sieyes, one Jacques and one Jean. Both Captains as well.

Not a very good tracking site. When entering both names (de Sieyes de Veynes) the system does not acknowledge anything. Took a while to get it right.

From where does the knowledge about the second last name come from?
Also with such an unusual name, were the two persons related? I notice that basically nothing is known about the one named Jacques.

Cheers

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of Nieuport 10 N.446 at:


https://www.ebay.it/itm/Vue-aerienne...UAAOSwqwNew3J5


The site at : http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad...e_Nieuport.htm


mentions a photo of this aircraft, so I hope its not the same. Speaking of this very helpful site it has the notation N 31 - N 3, Would I be correct in assuming that the writer simply means the plane moved fron N31 to N3? An obvious question I suspect but best to be clear.


Regards,

Photo has been published Clint, but this seems to be a very good quality one.

Aircraft itself was bought in March 1913 and assigned to RAF at Farnborough, so I suppose there is a good chance this photo was actually taken there.

By August the same year it was finished...
