Hi Clint

#6

Georges Clémenceau is certainly on the airfield of Viefvillers (Oise) in May 1918

At this time the "escadrille" 32 and 59 are on the same A/F :

• Raray
• Viefvillers
• Noirémont
• Etelfay
• Sommereux

Amongst the three photos we have a Dorand AR of AR 32 (seagull)

One of the photo is in the book "Les escadrilles de l'aeronautique militaire francaise - symbolique et histoire - 1912-1920." It is a Salmson 2 A2 of SAL 59

Hi Bertrand,


Thanks Clemenceau was easier to identify than the planes, particularly the Dorand which wasn't a clear photo. I shall take a look at the Escadrille 59 page on Albindenis in due course, now I know what to look for.

I had no idea female ground crew were used in WW.I. Live and learn.

With such a terrible slaughter of French young men I am not at all surprised
