Air Force Museum World War I Dawn Patrol Part III

And the Dawn Patrol continues.
 Another Eurocopter from the Miami Valley Hospital.
 I think this is the Nieuport 23 coming in.
 And it passes again.
 This is a Nieuport 12.  It was one of the earlier planes in the war.  Introduced in 1915 and produced until 1918.  It was used by the French, Russians and United Kingdom.  It was also one of the first fighters used by the United States.
 Some more of the re-enactors.
 The Sopwith Schnieder again.  This was also used by the Americans.
 Another view of that plane.
 The Nieuport 12 again.
 The Schneider.
 This is another SE5 produced by the Royal Aircraft Factory.
 Another shot of that.
 The Nieuport 23.
 The Schneider.
 The SE5 again.
 I think this was an early Fokker design.  The real one would have been powered by a Mercedes engine and it was the most advanced fighter by the time it entered the war.  It was also pretty close to the end of the war.
 The Junkers again.
 The Fokker.
 The Nieuport 12 after landing.
And another plane.
