This photo of a plane crash was included in the photos that Capt. Freddie Cunningham's nephew sent me. In the photo the serial number of the Bristol Fighter can be clearly seen in the photo D-7984 which should help identify when and how the crash occurred. I can't find the crash mentioned in the book The Sky Their Battlefield but I can find the plane mentioned in the 48 Squadron article in "Over the Front". One the 5th September 1918 Capt. H.A. Oaks and Lt. T. Beck were flying in this plane when they shot down two Fokkers .
The doesn't appear to be much damage on the plane, apart from the fact that it is upside down. I guess the pilot responsible for the crash is standing in front of the plane.
