We are half way through the challenge! Unfortunately MFair has had to drop out due to a scary tornado event in his area. He is safe and well and busy helping less fortunate neighbors. Good luck MFair! Yikes! Glad to hear MFair is OK. I should be back in the air in my old Aviatik tomorrow. Tough times on the German side! Hope I can hang on long enough to get a better aircraft. You are a trooper 77_Scout! The Kaiser is very proud of you! H

Railyard Bombing, June 12, 1916. Alfons Kemper's 8th mission. Success!! Kommadant says "The railyard that was attacked sustained some damage! Job Well Done!" Over the target: One of our new pilots is listed as flying the Roland CII and several of the new planes are reported to be on order. Things are looking up. ____________________________________________ Edit/Addition: Mission #9 was a bust ... my engine crapped out only a few minutes into the mission. Our first Roland has arrived. More should arrive soon. I seem to be at the bottom of the list to receive one. Whaaa

What bloody idiot came up with that one in the first place?... ahem. H

@ 77 Scout: your 2 seater career seems to have better luck than your solo flying attempts! Glad to see you're doing well! @ Lederhosen, Close Call sir!!! My pilot has missed a few weeks flying, but managed to patrol out on the 12th. Condensed report below! Cheers!

I think the boss is trying to kill me. We have seven Aviatiks and one Roland ... but guess what flies? Me in my Aviatik and one other flier in the Roland. The Kommandant doesn't send up any of the other boys in the old Aviatiks; too dangerous! I, on the other hand, seem to be expendable. Hmmpff. June 18, 1916: Back to bomb the railyard northwest of Arras. No damage done. Our bomb aiming ability seems to be sadly lacking. Happily the same can be said for the British AA gunners...

24 June 1916 and the Kaiser has given us new toys to play with. Turns out that our old EIV is faster and has a better climb rate though. Perhaps in a scrap the new machine may prove to be better.

Okay, now here's my first E-Fokker tumbling downwards: Although it has been confirmed, the whole Mission wasn't countes as Success, because our Bomber wasn't able to hit his Target (Comment: Quite odd... usually confirmed Kills automatically make a Mission successful...) The next Mission was a good Example for the Rule: Shoot first - make Pictures later... as you can see here: aaaaaaaand: Bam! The Engine was still running, but essentially at Idle, plus I had to glide back to our Lines over a Battery full of Trigger-happy Germans... I managed to land some Meters behind our own Battery. That Mission brought me no Kill, but aother 4 Days in Hospital... and I consider myself lucky... could have been worse...
