Herzlichen Dank Immo,
and also many thanks Greg...
Its always a good feeling to met somebody, who could fill some blank fields in this giant jigsaw-puzzle called "Luftfahrtgeschichte".
Greg - iīm really sure, that this Nieuport was a official victory for Frankl in his time. Look at all the people on the photographs, could you imagine more eyewitness for a claim?
What i donīt understand:
Back in 1978 Mr. Jeffery Sands published via Rick Duiven his listing of Franklīs victorys in the last issue of US Cross & Cockade 26-2.
This list contains also the 3. August 1916!
I do not know the sources from Mr. Sands, but this information didnīt come from a crystall-ball...
So, what happened between 1978 and today?
Who decided to clean up the information?
Where is Franklīs claim gone???
Here is the last picture from the 3. August 1916 series...
Leftmost (the guy who looked into the camera) a unknown member of FFA 23 which was based at Roupy.
Tschüss
Hal
