WW1 Aircraft Photos

Not sure about the earliest use of the red dot star. However, The machine with the lowest serial numbers I have seen with that marking is the Pigeon Fraser Scout with both serial numbers 116 & 117,the first flying and crashing in December 1917. Wiki has the Star marking state side from May 1917,whether this is correct frankly I don't know. Perhaps somone has more info on the emblem's first use?

This might be a photo of the Morane Saulnier Type U, though I can't be certain. Bet I wind up correcting myself or being corrected.

IMHO, judging by the underwing struts and the shape of the fuselage that's the Morane-Saulnier AC (MS-23).
