I immediately recognized the plane as a Salmson 2A2 because I built a scale model of one for our museum.

Salmson 2A2 with a rather odd code/serial which lead me to think it is with one those US AEF training units in France. Behind is a DH.4 possibly US made and sent to Europé. Stig

This is Salmson 2A2 3376 #9, received on October 5, 1918, as the replacement ship for 1st Lieut. Edward Groteclose, Jr., a pilot assigned to the 1st Aero Squadron on July 19, 1918. The date has to be post-war, the first snowfall in northern France occurring on December 19, 1918.
