    This Junkers J.1 586 was discovered at the German airfield at Villers-la-Chevre, NE of Longuyon. Members of the 94th Aero Squadron visited this site soon after they moved to the German field at Noërs just west of Longuyon ca. 21 November 1918. John DeWitt of the 94th Aero Squadron went up to Villers and collected souvenirs. That actual Junkers was later collected, sent to Romorantin, and eventually to Canada where it still is today. This series of Junkers left the factory ca. 16‒28 September 1918 and fits the description of the type downed by Lieut. William P. Erwin on 8 October 1918 for his fifth confirmed victory, and his Observer Lieut. Easterbrook’s third.

    This appears to be a 15-cm heavy field howitzer M 14, which shot a 28-lb. shell with a range of 8,858 yards and required a crew of 8, manufactured in Austria. Muzzle velocity: 1,120 feet-per-second. Elevation: -5 degrees/+70 degrees.
