Hall"), to Jacques Mortane of La Guerre Aierienne, 2 pp, 4to, Colfax, IA, August 2 and December 24, 1919, the later letter mentioning the book that he and Nordhoff have written on the history of the Escadrille.

3. MASSON, DIDIER. 1886-1950. Autograph Letter Signed ("D. Masson"), sending Mortane a photograph to use in his publication, 2 pp recto and verso, 8vo, [Paris], n.d., on 7 Rue Mirabeau letterhead.

Hoskier, to Mortane clarifying the younger Hoskier's military record, 4 pp recto and verso, 8vo (conjoining leaves), Paris, May 21, 1917, on black-bordered mourning stationery.
