Is anyone planning a trip to either the Musée de l'air at Le Bourget or the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy in the next while ?
Cheers,

We will remember them.

One of the airplanes that these museum have in common is a famous french twin-engined biplane wink ...


(...but sorry I don't plan to go to the Bourget in the next months)

And if it is really about the Caudron G4(finger crossed wink ), there are some photos by Russell Smith (the painter) here:

Or a Voisin? The Bourget has the nacelle of a type 10, Udvar-Hazy a complete type 8.

Le Bourget has one, but it seems that Udvar-Hazy don't.

It also seems that there are no surviving Salmson 2A2 either frown

Fonck was credited with one Albatros D shot down (shared with an american pilot of the N62) on the 17/03/1917.
It was its second confirmed victory. He was moved to the Stork after that.

Thank you, Stache - FB = FACEBOOK - could have guessed that.
But I'm no FBer, so they won't let me see it.

actionjoe, now we needed a list of all Caudron G.IV shot down by Albatros... biggrin

Well, no doubt Fonck was a remarkable fighter pilot.
And I love to see the Caudron in WOFF - it has a unique look; very special!

Well, on this same patrol, the gunner of Fonck's wingmen whas killed by an Albatros.
But it seems they didn't suffer as much as the BE2.
