Typed caption: "An aerial collision between a Baby Nieuport and a German Rumpler. The German plane had been in the habit of coming over the French Trenches for photographs and had always returned safely to its lines. On this day three French airplanes attacked the Boche on his return. Quartermaster de Terline, arriving at the proper altitude, noticed that his two companions had been forced to abandon the pursuit -- from motor trouble, as it happened. Terline, thinking his two comrades wounded, dashed at his adversary 3,500 feet above the earth and sent the German machine crashing to the ground. From a painting by Lieut. Henri Farré."Creation Datecirca 1914-1918SubjectWorld War, 1914-1918Airplanes, MilitaryLanguageEnglishOriginal FormatlithographsBibliographic CitationThe Ted Ingersoll World War I Collection/The Museum of FlightRightsNo copyright - United StatesLicense
