Gunnar, you will not be able to ascribe this victory to anyone I'm afraid, it was friendly fire. My French references and my recently aquired copy of "The Storks" are out on loan at the moment so I don't have precise date or details, but Guynemers SPAD sustained a direct hit from a French Anti-Aircraft
battery. Due to my innadequate translation skills I missed this when preparing my bio page and I really must amend it. In photographs the aircraft looks fairly badly damaged and apparently lost more than half it's wing fabric, but it was repared and is I beleive the example now on display at Le Bourget.
hope this helps
