Mon Dieu ! Zee Bosche had us pinned, in a wild Melee over their Airfields near Rethel. The Esc 's 7 a/c had merged with 2 flights of Vee Strutts I had an eyeful of Black tailed and White tailed machines that morning. I did the best I could after they fell on us ( 2 Section 4 a/c ) even went over to help 1st Section after I cleared my tail, but no good. I was shot up so had to laisser for Home. I was shook up upon landing, I was told that had we Lost 2 more a/c + all were damaged for a few damaged Huns. The C.O. gave me a 48 hour pass to settle my nerves
