Opponents of 24 Squadron ??

[MarkBB]

Just finished re-reading Bill Lambert's book ' Combat Report' after many years. Would be interested to know what Jastas would have opposed 24 Squadron throughout 1918 in that sector. During that period, the Squadron was based at Villers Bretonneaux, Matigny, Moreuil, Bertangles, Conteville and Cappy. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Mark
