I wrote this small text to explain the choice of the decoration of this plane.
Instead of representing the plane of an "As", I chose to honor these much less known planes and nevertheless essential, those of hunting pilots' schools.
The decorations represent those of the planes of the School of Air Shooting (Ecole de Tir Aérien, ETA) of Biscarrosse ( France), period 1917-1918.
This Air Base is situated near I to, what allows me to fly in my usual environment in Flight Simulator.
This Air Base was created in 1915 and not there accidentally. The lake, because of its area (12km on 15km) and of its flat environment, assured the necessary safety of the local residents during the frequent real shootings caused by this period of war (WWI) during the training of the machine gunners of the infantry and those of the aircrafts. It was at first seaplanes then, then, planes, once the created airfield.
The hunting pilots will come at this moment.
Two liveries are proposed, a French and an American.
A big number on sides identifies the plane (to facilitate the work of the observers on the ground), on French is written in more the serial number of the plane, the American distinguishes itself by its number, preceded by US, and already written in the font which we know well but without the serial number.
On all are painted the French colors.
The US pilots were trained in the various flying schools French before ending their program on this air base.
These planes are relatively clean, except the inevitable tracks of oil burned or not. The ground is sandy and grassy, thus no mud. Of more these machines were often in the hands of the mechanics and did not undergo the treatment of their counterparts of the war zone.
At present the place is known under the name of Air Base of Cazaux. This Air Base is always intended for the school and for the training of the French and foreign pilots.
