I agree - a Voisin of some description.

But at the very start or your clip - looks like a Breguet Br.M5...

Those were ugly but really interesting machines, thank you.

The first gunship, Voisin VII load a fire and take off in Greece. Video made up from 3 films.

remarkable that it could fire a 37mm without falling apart !!

I viewed these shorts. Interesting stuff.

My interest is period fonts or lettering on the DR1.

I know when these aircraft get restored little attention is paid to the smaller lettering. Generally done my machine cut "paint masks."

Done by hand in the day. So I'm attempting to get correct information as to the lettering used?

I do see some variations in art drawings, but are these correct? One could only guess.

Anyone have reliable info on fonts of that day and what was used on the DR1?

Thanks in advance.
