Bi-plane with Star of David and German markings -- help identify please!

I think there is an interest in all things of WW1 especially now that there are no participants left.

As far as conserving pictures go I suspect Alan65 may be able to put you on the right track however locally I have taken a large number of photos to the nation army museum for conservation, we have an arrangement where they restore the pictures and provide a copy in return they can display the originals.

The pictures however remain in the family name they are just on sort of a "permanent" loan.

Refering to a/c type it means this:





If "whatever that means" does not refer to the type of a/c but to the "having been forced down" then it translates to the attacking a/c descending on the defensless victim plane from above, literally "pushing" it down towards the ground (wheels-on-wing directly or indirectly by physical blocking any other CoA), a common practice in WWI if the victim a/c was out of ammo or fuel or had mech probs.

Yes, leave that in the hands of a professional: Separating pix and negatives is a long process that needs controlled environment (temperature and humidity) and patience.
