Sorry for the confusion!
Of course I meant Engelhorn and Wittenberg.

Rammjaeger,
If the L'illustration picture was published in spring 1915, it was not a victim of Navarre or any other french aviator. They were not a lot of german plane shot down by another plane inside french lines : Frantz downed an Aviatik, Gilbert a Rumpler? (intact, see rear cover of CGAS) and the 3rd was Navarre's on april 1st 1915.
L'illustration picture is cleaner than the Guerre aérienne one. From the trees there is no doubt that it was in winter. Are they any caption or clues in the magazine?
