Army planes in Mexico (LOC)

  • Art Siegel said:
    These are the Curtiss JN-3 airplanes of the U.S. Army's First Aero Squadron, which flew from a newly-established base at Columbus, NM following Villa's raid, to Pershing's headquarters at Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico on March 19 and 20, 1916.

    According the Wikipedia account, these planes proved unsuitable due to the altitude and heat conditions, and were returned to Columbus by April, 1916.

    Great image! This looks like an armored vehicle that Colonel T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) might have considered for his desert campaigns in the Middle East during WWI. Lawrence was quick to adopt Rolls Royce armored cars in his later efforts. My grandfather, Sergeant John Campbell of the Tenth Australian Light Horse, met Col. Lawrence in Cairo.
