Try The Great War Forum – War in the air section.
Some very knowledgeable people on there about WW1.

Is this the RAF – referring to a squadron as the 98th squadron is not the usual nomenclature. Maybe it was in October 1918, just not these days…
98 Squadron was using DH9’s at the time, based at Blangermont until it moved to Abscon 27/10/1918; I presume these are/were in Northern France since the squadron took part in a counter offensive which eventually reached Belgium before the Armistice.
A little research on Google shows that you probably know this already…
Ah well, good luck.
