Shot down 12 July 1915 ?

Was there a German Observation plane shot down 12 July 1915 by French Aviator? Or was it 12 July 1918?

12 July 1915 seems to have been a quiet day - I have no claims by the British, French or Belgians; the closest I've got is Pegoud's 6th victory - an Aviatik on 11 July.

12 July 1916 - a claim for an LVG two-seater by de Rochefort of N26.

12 July 1917 - much more action: a DFW two-seater claimed by Mannock, a two-seater claimed by MacLanachan, a two-seater claimed by Langlands (No 23 Sqn), a DFW two-seater claimed by Rhys Davids, two two-seaters claimed by Coote (No 56 Sqn), an Albatros two-seater claimed by Harris & Webb in a 45 Squadron Sopwith Strutter.

12 July 1918 - not very exciting: all I've got is a claim (an Albatros) by Coiffard, Waddington and Ehrlich of Spa 154.

I think we got our wires crossed here PFF. The date is actually 12 August 1918.

The only two seater claims I've got for 12 August 1918 are a Rumpler claimed by Pentland of No 87 Squadron between Arras and Thelus and an LVG claimed by Jordan of No 208 Squadron north east of Pacaut Wood.

The only French claims I've got noted are for four balloons and a brace of DVIIs.
