Schon vielen Dank für die Hinweise.
G. Guynemer war in Morane Saulnier Geschwader 3 und das war in Vauciennes (ZW-lich von Villers Cotterêts)
In Flugbuch (carnet de vol) steht (Übersetzung in English)
"Started with Guerder after a Boche reported at Couvres and caught up with him over Pierrefonds. Shot one belt, machine-gun jammed, then unjammed. The Boche fled and landed in the direction of Laon. At Coucy we turned back and saw an Aviatik going toward Soissons at about 3200 meters up. We followed him, and as soon as he was within our lines we dived and placed ourselves about 50 meters under and behind him at the left. At our first salvo, the Aviatik lurched, and we saw a part of the machine crack. He replied with a rifle shot, one ball hitting a wing, another grazing Guerder's hand and head. At our last shot the pilot sank down on the body-frame, the observer raised his arms, and the Aviatik fell straight downward in flames, between the trenches...."
This flight began at 3700 meters in the air, and lasted ten minutes, the two combatants being separated by a distance of 50 and sometimes 20 meters. The statement of fact is characteristic of Guynemer. An unforgettable sight had been imprinted on his eyes: the pilot sinking down in his cock-pit, the arms of the observer beating the air, the burning airplane sinking. Such were to be his future landscape sketches, done in the sky. The wings of the bird of prey were unfurled definitely in space.[url]The two fighting airmen had left Vauciennes at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at quarter-past three they landed[/url], conquerors, at Carrière l'Evêque.
Carrière l'Evêque ist ein Bauernhof bei Septmonts (Südlich Soissons).
Saint Vincent kann ich leider auch nicht finden. War dort vielleicht das Flugplatz von Fl Abt 26?

Er bestehen noch Bildern von Guynemer und Guerder nach die Siege:
