The German Gotha G.III bomber was used on the Western Front with good results. This particular Gotha, No. 547, fell into Allied hands in the St. Michel sector. The Frenchman who forced the plane down was none other than Georges Guynemer. He is shown here, in this painting by Bill Marsalko, motioning to the crew of the Gotha which is experiencing mechanical difficulties. The Gotha landed on French soil and was later examined by the French military. Note that Guynemer's Nieuport is armed with Le Prieur rockets on its interplane struts.
