Darcel Limoge Lieutenant Esc 95 Spads Ochy, AF Verdun , France 10 Victor's
Oct 6, 1918.
Escort enemy side over St. Mehiel flew under 2 flights crossing over. On the way back spotted a flight above and to port , they were diving and started to curve towards us. It turned out to be only 2 a/c against our 5 fighters and lower down the Recon. I waited then dove on the rear machine. It must have been flown by an Expert Pilot even after hitting him Numerous times The e/a still dodged me and got in a few hits. Finally, His motor stopped and I came around to give the final Hammering. Smoke then his wing broke off and he fell. The enemy pilot was just too good to give him a chance to force land. The score 1 e/a mine for 2 damaged Spads.
