I have no idea what this one is:

This is a Nieuport shot down by one of the early Pour Le Merit Aces, can't rem which one ts the moment -- Budeke or Wittgens maybe, have to go look it up, but notable for the rows of dots on the upper wings in place of the cockades which they took to be a new form of national marking ....
