Jules Védrines in a Morane-Saulnier Model N, ca. 1915
-
Jules Védrines seated at the controls of a Morane-Saulnier Model N on the ground in France, circa 1915. The aircraft shows a machine gun mount and propeller, note the steel deflector plate at the base of the propeller. Crude bullet deflectors like the one in this photo protected a propeller from the plane’s forward-firing machine gun. The deflectors could be ineffective and dangerous.
