Raine, thank you for the kind words. I’m surprised these videos can be considered instructional.
Oh dear God, that killed me. Thank you White for teaching English to the poor French boy. He’ll grow up to be a strong man. He will have to if he wants to live.
A close call with dear White, I would say. Hopefully he won’t try the same prank soon again. RFC does Lt have that many wings to waste.
Too bad about those Pfalzen gone unconfirmed. Perhaps George filled out his quota and no more are allowed. Good thing those Rumplers are still game. Congrats!

Oberleutnant Zygmunt Dolf Hahn EK2 EK1 HHO PLM AO RA
108 confirmed kills
Awaiting one claim confirmation

Zygmunt was leading his Schwarm back to base after a quiet patrol of the frontlines. They were near their aerodrome when they spotted Flak chasing enemy planes. One of them was approaching now and his fuselage was painted all red. Hahn could not believe the audacity of this Franzose.
“- You want to be von Richthofen? I’ll teach you some manners.” Ziggy was soon chasing after the red SPAD. The pilot was good, but he was not von Richthofen. Suddenly Mallman jumped out of nowhere and in front of Hahn to have his turn. Ziggy was sure he “nicked” him in the wing with his Spandaus.
“- Bloody fool!” Zygmunt was not amused. This distraction cost him the kill. It soon became clear the enemy would not stick around and was already racing toward the Front. He was a diversion to lure Zygmunt away from the main battle. He realized it as he watched the red plane disappear in the distance and quickly turned his Albatros around to rejoin the fight. He soon found another SPAD chasing after one of his flight mates. When the enemy pilot realized he was being targeted he began to perform well executed evasive maneuvers, but his efforts were futile. The enemy realized too late there was no escape. Soon his aeroplane was careening towards the ground with Zygmunt looking around for his next target. He was unable to find one. The rest of the SPADs quickly retreated after seeing their Red Leader run away. Hahn’s Schwarm formed up and landed back at home. Schwarm Zwei was still out on patrol.

Tybelsky fidgeted in his seat behind the table at the Kasino.
“- What’s wrong with you?” Hahn asked his friend.
“- Nothin’, I’m waiting for Fuchs to run in here and tell us he saw Nungesser himself.” Tybelsky responded and as if on command Feldwebel Fuchs was standing in the doorway smiling.
“- Meine Herren, I’ve finally seen the Front!” Rudi greeted his superiors.
“- Really?” Tybelsky was first to respond. “- Was it as terrible as you imagined?”
“- Nein, it was wunderbar!” Fuchs was excited.
Tybelsky rolled his eyes.
“- I could see all the ground our Army gained since the last offensive. You can see all the new trench lines ahead of the old ones.” Rudolf announced proudly.
“- Get used to it, Rudi. The lines won’t move for some time now.” Hahn wasn’t pessimistic. It’s just the way it is. Nothing ever happens during the winter months.
