Nieuport - Escadrille Lafayette
Duel in the Sun
Lit by the brilliant sunny day a lone Fokker Dr1 bumbles along, homeward bound. Stalked by the Nieuport, flown by an experienced flight leader as shown by the wing strut banners, the Fokker will have to try very hard to escape this time.
The classic approach to air combat - gain the advantage of height, position and sun glare and the quarry is yours. Most WW1, and WW2 pilots, wore loose clothing round the neck, often with a silk scarf to reduce friction, all to enable them to turn the head frequently to check behind and into the sun glare. Those who didn�t learn this lesson soon fell prey as the Dr1 in the image
Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight

Gosh that blind spot was crucial to their survival! Great angles and composition! Voted and favored!
Arne Hansen
Nice angle to effectively display the lines of this aircraft. Are the WWI aircraft you are photographing reproductions or original?
Pat Speirs replied:
All reproductions with the exception of the Bristol F2b - to be posted later - I believe the last Dr1 was lost in Berlin to Allied bombing - touch of irony there! The best source is the Shuttleworth collection in UK, hope to visit again this summer when down in England for the Duxford Legends weekend. Good to 'talk' to you.........Pat
