Description: 
Attached: "S/,167870 F.C. COPYRIGHT UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD, N.Y. REMARKABLE PHOTO OF AN AIR BATTLE IN PROGRESS. Photographs of the actual manoeuvring of the battle-planes in the realms above, have been extremely few and have not shown in any sense the graphic tenseness of an actual air fight that is shown in this photograph. The French plane at the top is manoeuvring for position preparatory to swooping down on its German adversary. After a short but thrilling machine gun duel the Frenchman succeeded in downing the Teuton. The photo was made by an observer in another French battleplane. This wonderful photograph shows how the warplanes are handled in battle. Often to get over the enemy French planes seem to climb directly upward and then made a sudden swoop downward to to get the Teuton. RELEASED FOR FEB. 15-1918." 2/12/18."
