Excellent photos, Ritterton. Thanks again for sharing them.

The first one is a particularly nice find...All I can tell you about it is, it's an LVG C.II

I think you're probably right about the 2nd photo being post-war, but the plane is in fact a Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny'.

Good luck finding more bargains!

Bucky -

Thanks for the ID on the crash picture. I wasn't making much progress on that one at all.

I also appreciate the correction as to the USA being a Jenny. Need to find a few more reference books here...I am sure I can justify them as "essential additions to the library, honey."

Have a few neat balloons coming...onese I got for a true steal! Can't wait to see that one show up - I mean at 1 Euro each.... :-)

Love to hear people's ideas....

Nice collection, Ritterton! Thank you for sharing!
The two cockpits are very close togheter and too far back. It is D.H.9A, I believe.

Gotha - with crew



Unfotunately, the image isn't the best on the original - it is blurred to the righ to of the picture. I also cannot see any identifying marks or numbers beyond the partial cross.
