I assume that Henri is referring to the DFW C.V that McCudden shot down just before 56 Squadron B Flight tangled with Werner Voss on 23 September 1917.

Henri and others who are the quiz master.....
When some one offers up a guess it is fine to say no, but more helpful to post a few more clues to keep the interest up.
Sparky


Better to allow 2-3 guesses before posting more clues.

Rumpler C.III?

Sparky, maybe the same person needs to hold off making another guess until that person's first guess is rejected.

Otherwise, I could for example post 20 guesses in a row in one post after another, which would be the same as putting a list of aircraft in a single post.

Great story ending in the 1918 flu.

I do not have another one in the can, but will respond if no one else does in 24hr.

That is the correct plane and the correct pilot. It was an ashtonishing act of bravery in my humble opinion.
Another remarkable detail of that dogfight was that all aircraft involved were designed by Dutchmen ... Koolhoven vs Fokker. In the interbellum they were very competitive and not particularly fond on each other as well.

Your turn!
