This aircraft was donated to Canada by the Government of France in 1916. It was exhibited with other war trophies across Canada and the United States from 1917 to 1919. Damaged in a railway accident in Baltimore, Maryland in February 1918, the tail was replaced with a non-standard fin. The aircraft was stored by the War Trophies Board and sometimes displayed by RCAF until becoming part of the national collection in 1965. - Credit Canada Aviation Museum website
