This panel was taken from the fuselage of a Breguet 2 seater by a Lt. W.C. Ross in 1918. I'm not sure what Lt. Ross's duties were, but he is listed in the "Officers in the Zone of Advance", placing him "at the Front". ........... The panel is that of the French 39th Salmson Squadron and I'm a little unclear as to why the description under the glass reads "Breguet", unless the 39th was upgraded to Salmsons at a later date. ..........Lt. Ross's walking stick was obtained by me several years ago with no knowledge that a panel existed. I purchased the panel from the same individual last year and it wasn't until a few months ago that I noticed they were both from Lt. Ross. My friend who sold me the panel had forgotten about the walking stick!............. Who said this ain't fun??.........Wide shot provided to show the size of the panel.
