German Artillery near Verdun (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• davensuze. said:

  I guess we could rule out the circa 1910 through 1913.

• Art Siegel said:

  Hard to tell what's going on here, but it looks like they're carrying small trees for camouflage to a row of gun emplacements on the horizon.

• The Library of Congress said:

  davensuze and artolog--Thanks for your date information. We will make the date more specific to WWI.

• Art Siegel said:

  The Battle of Verdun began on 2/21/16, 4 days from the date of the negative.

Sopwith, I B 1

from SDASM Archives

• Kees Kort said:

  Obviously a French 1 1/2 Strutter, the rudder gives SOP I B 1. The distinctive markings on the fuselage side needs some further research.

• Buck-Jo said:

  Hello Mr Kort The following explanations only concern examples built under license by French companies.
  French aeronautics used it in three forms:
  - SOP 1 A 2: reconnaissance two-seater.
  - SOP 1 B 1: single-seater bombing.
  - SOP 2 B 2: two-seater bomber.
  
  74 French squadrons used it during WW1 (examples built in France and imported from GB)
  
  French manufacturers built 4,797 examples under license.
  To which must be added the copies directly delivered by Sopwith.
