In 1919, an expeditionary force was sent to Archangel in North Russia to protect large stocks of equipment originally consigned to the Russian army before the new government was overthrown by a Communist coup. This soon developed into support for the local White Russian forces. Among the aircraft sent was a small air unit of which the three aircraft illustrated were a part. The photographs were taken at Obozeikaya and are of "A" Flight aircraft. They are D.H.9 F1142, B7914, a rebuilt Sopwith 1 1/2-strutter and Snipe E6353 (shown), built by Boulton & Paul.
