I have in my database the following:

WW1 Aero, numbers 118, 120 and 147. All are some sort of structural
or three-view drawings, although I'm not sure if they're do any
specific scale. I also went thorough and searched on "various"
(since I tend to lump some things together), and the
Squadron/Signal's In Action came up, although I'm not sure if the 11
is in there. I'll try and remember at lunch, and then let you know.
