Hi Bill,

The serial number of the N.11 is 1256, which I got from info in "Nieuport Flyers of the Lafayette " by John Guttman. I wanted to do the other N.11 in a different camo scheme, so I chose Victor Chapman's plane, which supposedly had Russian type roundels. I guess that would place this action before June 17, when Chapman was shot up in that a/c. The painting doesn't portray any specific action, as it was started as a test of using 3D models to lay out the composition and perspectives for a 2D artwork. The simple N.11 and E.III models were created in Blender and then posed in a 3D program called Vue for the final composition. That sketch was transferred to the canvasboard and painted.

I'll be looking forward to your book on Lufbery. He lived in Wallingford, CT, about 20 miles away from my home, while he was in the States.

Thanks for your response,
Don
