with an unusual "squadron slogan in Venetian dialect" plastered on the starboard fuselage: ocio, fiol d'un can! ("beware, son of a dog!). My sole source is a Xerox copy of the profile from a large format book of WWI aircraft, the title and author of which i don't remember. Does anyone have further info on this aircraft? Unit? Pilot? Markings on the port side of the fuselage? Tia, Rob

That comes from P.14 of the publication "Color Profiles of WWI Combat Planes" by Apsotalo & Bignozzi the English translation of the text done in 1974. The Nieuport N3363 was not a Maachi built machine. It was French built and assigned to the French Escadrille Nr. 561 flown by MdL (does not mean member of the Legion, it stands for Sargent) Eduard Corniglion - Molinier. *The machine was in French markings and served on the Italian front with its unit Esc.561 in defense of Venice. *See Cross & Cockade USA Vol.24 /#4 /P. 382 and Vol. 25 /#2 /P. 182 .
Ocio Fiol Dun can! Had to edit the post cause Rick caught me pulling legs again. |
