ACE-02P - Billy Bishop - On 17 March 1917, Bishop arrived at 60 Squadron at Filescamp Farm near Arras, where he flew the Nieuport 17 fighter. At that time, the average life expectancy of a new pilot in that sector was 11 days, and German aces were shooting down British aircraft 5 to 1. Bishop's first patrol on 22 March was less than successful. He had trouble controlling his run-down aircraft, was nearly shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and became separated from his group. On 24 March, after crash landing his aircraft during a practice flight in front of General John Higgins, Bishop was ordered to return to flight school at Upavon. But before he could leave, Major Alan Scott, new commander of 60 Squadron, convinced Higgins to let him stay until a replacement arrived. The next day Bishop claimed his first victory when his was one of four Nieuports that engaged three Albatros D.III Scouts near St Leger. Bishop shot down and mortally wounded a 12 kill ace, Theiller, but his engine failed in the process. He landed in No Man's Land 300 yards from the German front line. After running to the Allied trenches, Bishop spent the night on the ground in a rainstorm. There Bishop wrote a letter home, stating:

ACE-03 - FOKKER DR1 450/17 JASTA 7, MAY 1918, Lt. Josef Jacobs JASTA 11, 21 April 1918 - Lt. Joseph Jacobs flew this Fokker DR1 450/17 from 28th February 1918, until it was apparently destroyed by Sopwith Camels during an attack on the Jasta 7 aerodrome on 19th October 1918. The plane was painted with wide boardered crosses in the usual positions, as well as on the top surface of the bottom wing. There is very little accurate visual evidence for the image painted on the side of the fuselage. The image has been referred to by Jacob’s wife as the “god of the north wind”, by Jacob himself as “Dark Angel”, and “Devils Head”.

ACE-09 - Fokker DRVII F 5125/18 - The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 1,700 D.VII aircraft in the summer and autumn of 1918. In service, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft.

The aircraft saw widespread service with many other countries in the years after World War I.
