#28. Very nice shot of S.E.5a's of number 85 squadron, RFC circa late 1917 into 1918. The lowest one in the painting is of assigned American Ace, Elliot White Springs, 19 victories.
Also #28. Just remembering who the markings are of the nearest S.E.5a in the photograph, Famed Royal Flying Corps Ace Billie Bishop, 72 victories!!!!:-)
