Cet avion a été piloté par le 2lt JD Kenyon du 148 th aero squadron(USA)

"On 2 September, “A” and “B” flights got into one heckuva furball while returning from a bombing/strafing mission on the road between Albert and Cambrai. A dozen D.VIIs dropped from the low clouds right in the middle of “B” flight led by Springs. Kindley and the four members of “A” flight turned to try and help their mates as they were totally surprised…and losing. More Fokkers showed up. It states that Kindley and Lts Charles McLean & Walter Knox each scored. I’d therefore assume they were in “A” flight with Kindley.
The 148th lost Lts Linn H. Forster, J.D. Kenyon, Oscar Mandel, Joseph E. Frobisher and Jesse Creech. Creech lived and had landed behind British lines, Kenyon and Mandel prisoners, and Frobisher was WIA and later died in a Canadian Hospital. Forster was fatally injured when he crashed behind German lines."
