I say mostly, because this specific Hanriot, although French built, was brought to states by French WW1 Ace Charles Nungesser and used in various films. Nungesser and co-pilot Francois Coli were lost trying to fly the Atlantic westbound at the same time Lindbergh took off on his famous flight. 1928 Lincoln-Page LP-3 _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Lincoln_Page.jpg.html _ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Lincoln_Page.jpg.html) 1923 Swallow Twin-Place _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Swallow_TP.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Swallow_TP.jpg.html) 1927 American Eagle A-1 _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Amer_Eagle.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Amer_Eagle.jpg.html) Curtiss Robin C-1 _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Robin.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/Robin.jpg.html) 1918 Hanriot HD.2 _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/WW1_Hanriot.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/Aircraft/WW1_Hanriot.jpg.html) All were taken with the M4, 90mm Tele-Elmarit on Tri-X, with some cleanup of the backgrounds in Photoshop.
