Hello. This is my first time on this forum, and I have no expertise in World War I aircraft, so, please forgive me in advance for any misnomer's or incorrect references. I am an Archivist and am processing a collection of a WWI veteran. There are many images in his papers that we have been able to identify, however, there are two images in particular of what appear to be Nieuport 28s with unusual art on the right side of the planes. Each is a separate piece of art and neither have markings that indicate a particular squadron (such as "Hat in the Ring"). Both pieces are individual represantations, one appears to be US soldiers crossing a battlefield (that plane has tail #3985) and the other depicts a soldier on horseback shooting at a wolf (no tail # is visible). Each cowling (?) also has separate art.
All of the images are posted on-line at

The collection is the Walter J. Binder Papers. He served at Romorantin at the Air Service Production Center No. 2. There are some excellent photographs of the facility and planes being assembled (including the 1000th DH-4) and others that we would appreciate any help in making proper identification.
thanks,
