For an interesting item on Antiques Roadshow on PBS, see the description of the Indian painting and the story about the last pilot to be accepted into Lafayette Escadrille.
www.pbs.org/video/antiques-roadshow-baton-rouge-hour-3/ see it at the 21:35 minute mark.

The painting is done on a part of the cloth of a Spad VII, not on canvas.
Hopefully this is of interest.

I found a cool BBC article about many military aviation firsts: the first plane shot down from another plane, the first aerial attack on a Naval vessel, the first aircraft carriers... The article is from 2014 but it is worth a read. All of these firsts took place a little over 100 years ago.
