This means that you must have been over Vaux-sur-Somme (just east of Corbie) on the Somme River. But I don't see a river. At least the day is right.

Yes, it was east of Corbie, though a bit further east than it should have been, that's why you do not see the Somme river. It is tricky to have a QC flight directly over the correct spot so I had to take the nearest possible airfield east of Corbie and the brick factory for them to begin (for all who don't know, the brick factory is implemented in WOFF) and let their fight happen there, hoping that they will get as close to the right spot as possible. Well done,then. But how did you arrange this in QC? I have been, from the very first, a QC flyer. When WOFF.1 burst on the scene, I had dreams of setting the clock to April 15, 1918, then signing on with a squadron out of Bertangle or Poulanville and haunting the skies over Corbie/Vaux-sur-Somme. If Jasta 11 fails to show, then continue on to Cappy and see if I can intercept and tangle with the RB as they return to base. I mentioned this in a few threads, until Pol dashed my hopes, saying that WOFF can not account for the whereabouts of every plane on each day of 1918. While Jasta 11 would certainly be aloft on April 15, it's by no means certain that they'd be over Corbie/Vaux-sur-Somme. (I never thought WOFF might account for every plane on every day, 'tho I had hoped that Historical Aces who cannot die until their appointed day would meet their fate in the actual area of the Front.) But here you are, in QC, with Jasta 11 below you in (approximately) the right place. Does the historical activity along the Front still go on in QC? I had always considered QC as a 'dead zone' populated only by yourself and whomever you spec. as an enemy. ps: Which "nearest airfield east of Corbie" did you fly out from?

As a starting point I searched for the nearest airfield to Corbie. When entering QC I gave my red Fokker autopilot and jumped via J to the AI sopwith strutter (which is brasco for this scene) and then with some luck I was able to record some glimpses of the red Fokker chasing the sopwith camel. Pretty slick move with the 'J' key. I'll have to put that in long-term memory. And the "nearest airfield to Corbie"? The nearest I could find is Poulanville (a mile or so immediately north of Amiens) and Bertangle (a few more miles straight north).

The closest airfield is the German airfield at Harbonnieres, east of Corbie Ah. I forgot that you started out in the Dr.1 and switched over during the flight. Thanks.

The beginning of Part 33 is amazing - how the fighter must have been hit
by the rear gunner, goes downward rolling, then 'stinking' - and only then
bursting into flames! Never saw this before!
One of these days I must find the time to watch them all - great work, Creaghorn!

Thank you guys. Yes please, Olham. Would be glad if you do . The Story often has references to earlier episodes, People involved, his friends, family, fiancee etc. Things which are happening, historically things as well, spanish flu etc., since it goes on as long as he is alive, he of course experiences things the people surely had experienced in those times, as the time goes by. Relationships which develope, people who die, offensives, the mines at Messines etc. For instance in episode 31 "The most tragic bent bullet in history" he almost shot down a Fokker with white nose and elevators, but he had a stoppage and had to let him go. The escaped pilot turned out to be the leader of Jasta 27 Hermann Göring. Of course he doesn't know how much the history could have been altered or what Butterfly effect he produced by not being able to kill him, if there wasn't this certain bent bullet. So would be cool if you watch them in a serial order.
