The famous photo of Swaab's "Mayer III" in the snow at Souilly sporting the rarely seen "kill markings" for his confirmed tally of 10. Swaab claimed 17 victories, but only 10 were officially confirmed by the three required independent observers. Several kills were far inside German lines.




Officers pose with their top scorer Swaab's Spad "Mayer III"--Crissey on the left. Toelle notes that white outlines have now been added to the victory crosses encircling the shooting star some time after the famous photo of Swaab's ship in the snow, above.
