Good morning all.
This particular postcard I believe was actually printed here, in the States. It has the typical AZO two up/two down arrow stamp box on back which, correct me if I'm wrong, dates it to 1917+. Could it have been an image from a larger collection of souvenir photo postcards sold to departing US Doughboys or was this the wreck of a U.S. Aviator flying for the British, hence the possible U.S. connection? How about none of the above?
