Ok, so after searching and searching through french planes. I couldn't really find anything that matched. BUT then, before you had even said anything about Spain. I forgot, I had over looked the tail, which had a sort of WW2 Nieuport 28-esque tail to it (at least to me). SO, I searched and searched through my book on Spanish Civil War planes, and came up with this!!!

NIEUPORT-DELAGE NiD 52

(Also, just for fun. I want one of these Nieuports. THEY SEEM SOOO COOL!!!! I'm now even MORE interested in Republican fighters of the SCW)

Well done. I'm glad I finally found one that even the Great Ace himself didn't know
