    An image captioned by Second Lt. Theodore E. Boyd. This aircraft, nosed over upon landing at Tours, France, in February 1918 is actually a Caudron G.3. In 2012, the Museum Archives received the Theodore E. Boyd World War I Collection (Acc. No. 2013-0016) and through the documents in the collection—correspondence, photographs, military orders, flight logs, and memoirs—we can reconstruct Boyd’s World War I experience.
