I read almost all publications on A7V tanks (including excellent books by Rainer Strashem & Max Hundleby) and only airplane attack on A7V tank was on August 30th 1918, when A7V 562 Herkules was bombed by enemy aircraft in the Bourlon Wood assembly area.

Anyone come across accounts of French aircraft attacking A7V's at V-B or anwhere else for that matter? Does anyone know if French air units were over V-B during the A7V assault on the 2nd West Yorkshire Regiment? Particularly I am interested in any aircraft that may have been in the area that carried the rapid firing 37mm cannon such as thethe Beardmore W.B.V, Salmson-Moineau and the SPAD S. XII.
Beardmore WBV never got to the front line - only British aircraft with cannon over the western front were a few FE2's fitted with the 37mm one pounder in the front cockpit - only fitted to night bombers though and I highly doubt ever used in daytime.
