1918 10 29 Bristol F2B Charles Findlay 88 Sqn - Steve Anderson.

Lieut. (A./.Capt.) Charles Findlay. (FRANCE)
On 29th October this officer led his flight with the greatest dash and determination against a hostile formation of about fifty machines. Reinforced by six more machines—making a total of twelve in all—he fought his patrol against the enemy's overwhelming numbers for upwards of half-on-hour, but the enemy being continuously reinforced he was eventually forced to withdraw. Cleverly extricating his formation he retired across the lines, our only casualties being one pilot and one observer wounded. The enemy lost heavily, five machines being shot down inflames (one by Capt. Findlay), four destroyed and six driven down out of control.
 

1918 Bristol F2B vs Kempf DrI - Russell Smith....

One of Russell Smith's latest masterpieces is this depiction of Bristol Fighters (apparently from 'B' Flight of No.48 Squadron) in an encounter with Fritz Kempf of Jasta Boelcke, in one of his famous Triplanes.

So....possibly Fokker Dr.I 213/17 and Bristol F2B B-1113, two"13" in on pic!
