Russell Smith Posted 5 March , 2008 Share Posted 5 March , 2008 These are the value studies for an upcoming piece featuring William Thaw's unofficial Rumpler claim of Dec. 3, 1917. Thanks to Alan Toelle for the SPAD markings. The Rumpler markings are purely generic as the unit is unknown. Both are pencil on vellum.

Russell Smith Posted 5 March , 2008 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2008 Thanks Egbert! The indian is indeed the same. Bill Thaw served with the Lafayette Escadrille. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
