What a great deal. Alan Toelle thinks (knows) the fabric is a fake as well so somebody paid $400 each for a pair of $50 photographs.

Is the strip of canvas from his triplane? Probably not, to put it mildly.

If it's canvas, it's definitely a fake. (Though perhaps author Longstreet would pay a goodly sum for it!)

Dear Greg, It is a simple matter of economics my friend. Everybody knows that you can get $20 or maybe even $30 more on eBay for a rare photograph of the Red Baron as opposed to the chump change that Lieutenant Heine Goldfarb would bring in. And yes, on eBay, anything with wings can magically be transformed into a Fokker triplane.
