Biplane With Squadron Emblem
Greetings:
I am trying to determine the type of aircraft (perhaps a "Jenny"?) and, more importantly, the identity of the squadron, based on the emblem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Any ideas as to the type of aircraft and what squadron it belonged to?
