Description
Informal portrait of Captain G C Wilson MC DCM, near Baizieux, seated in an D.H.5 A9449, '1' aircraft with which he did effective bombing and harassing work during the Cambrai Battle of November 1917, thereby earning for himself the MC. Standing near the propeller is 2348 1st Air Mechanic Henry Alexander Momsen. The white band round the fuselage was, at the time the photograph was taken, the official Squadron marking.
