Graeme, of course when I asked about "the Camel file" I intended if your infos came MAINLY from that book because it's clear that to have so many datas one has to rely on different sources,also archive ones.
Well, my interest in that Camel is due to a report made by a patrol of Macchi flying boats dated November 1917 (the exact date is impossible to read).
The crews report of an encounter with a quite strange enemy machine, seemengly a fighter, that was painted "all black with a white part (an insignia?) on the fuselage".This black a/c was flying alone higher than them but, as they tried to intercept, it made a fast dive and escaped (?) .Later the crews saw the same a/c attacked by "an English machine with what seemed a white "N" on the fuselage ".
I was curious also about this German or A-H aircraft painted all black.
