    Does anyone recognize this RR insignia ?

    I know it is a Frenchicon Nieuport Bi plane of the Lafyette Escadrille.
    But what Squadron or SPA ?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I researched it. It is Hollywoodize

    In the 2006 movie "Fly Boys" that double R insignia was on Rollins plane, and it stood for Rawlins Ranch because he is the Texan that the family lost their ranch to foreclosure.

    The additional symbol identified the pilot in the Lafayette Escadrille. The one in the picture is not listed in the Escadrille records.
