The NASM has two Australian Flying Corps exhibits marked with plaques calling the AFC the "Royal Australian Flying Corps". This is incorrect, there was never a Royal prefix to the Australian Flying Corps. The NASM Sopwith Snipe which is in the markings of 4 Sqn AFC was one of four Snipes brought to the US for evaluation. It was originally a 2 seater. The other exhibit with AFC content is a pair of AFC pilots wings. Dh2 - The first US built Liberty engined Dh2. Side nose view.
