cpatrick Posted April 7, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2007 Greetings, I just purchased the remains of a WWI photo-scrapbook, which belonged to an officer in the US Signal Corps - Air Service. He was attached to an air-wing, if you will, and I am trying to figure out if there is any way to find out which plane numbers correspond to a specific squadron? I will have pictures up, as well as a better description, but I wanted to get a head start on this. Of interest, one plane looks like a "flying carp". Also an unpublished pic of Wilson walking down the steps at Versailles..... Good stuff... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted April 7, 2007 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2007 Chris, Sounds very cool. Lots of info here: http://www.theaerodrome.com/aircraft/ Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpatrick Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted April 7, 2007 Thanks Gunbarrel!! That is a great site. I could not find the specific information that I need, but it still has quite a bit of valuable information. I will see about tomorrow afternoon getting some pics. It has been a while since I have supplied some "fresh" stuff to any forum... Most are just old pictures of my collection on my hard drive..... Thanks again... And if anyone else can offer any info, I would be very happy. Some of the numbers are: 941 & 567. Those are two that stand out the best - the others are covered up by other planes.... It looks like the better part of a squadron that was pictured. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
