Carrick, Ben Kincaid is essentially out until late November as he will recover near the end of October and then I go away for work for the first three weeks of November. Good thing it is a long war.

I am really looking forward to getting back into it with him. Ive spent a lot of time with one of my non-DID Camel pilots and I am really starting to get the hang of flying it in combat.

Oct 14, 1917.


No Luck again. I led the Jasta ( 9 a/c) on Patrol this morning in rain and heavy cloud cover. After reaching the turn around point, We spotted E/a amid puffs of ground fire. They e/a ( 6 DH 5's ) were higher then us and we were barely above stall speed. No losses to any side. we kinda separated in the dark rainy skies while chasing each other.

Oct 15 1917. Well its Kaput for Helmute D E C E A S E D K I A G O T T H E C H O P A T E T H E D I R T S P R I A L E D I N. C A R S H E D A N D B U R N E D " D I E D " K I C K E D TH E B U C K E T . Went into the T R E E S .


Got into it with 2 Flights of Six F2b's protecting 5 DH 4's. My group had 6 a/c and got scattered all over the Sky. I was firing on one when its partner shot up my right wing. In order to stay airborne I had to fly with full left rudder and reduce power. Two more shot my D-IIIa up. I tried to put it down when the wing fell apart and the a/c fell into a horizontal landing thru a fence.

My condolences on the loss of your pilot, Hauptmann von Hammer, Carrick. The men of his Jasta will surely miss him.

Helmute should have kept an opening so he could run away, But alas he did not and got the chop. " Too eager to get a kill "

Oct 15 1917.

Arrived and did a local solo flight of the area then was posted to a Recon flight. No enemy contact. We are a mix bag using hand me down machines marked British and French. The Aero machines are mostly Sopwith 1B and a couple of 1A 's. I had hoped to get Fighters with Up to date machines like the Spad or N-24.

Albert Earl Godfrey

15 June 1917 @ 05h00 Attack on Pronville aerodrome

“B” flight composed of Godfrey, Molesworth, Soden and Fry were tasked with the primary attack on Pronville. “A” flight composed of Bishop, Caldwell, Dillon, Pearson and Horn were to provide top cover on the initial attack and then take targets of opportunity following the primary attack.

Wind was 8 kn from the SSW with low cumulus from 4100 to 9000 ft.

The flights formed up north of the field as usual attaining 11,300 ft by 05h26 before setting out for the lines near Monchy le Preux.

The flights reached the lines at 05h36 at an altitude of 7500 ft and continued on towards Pronville aerodrome, arriving there at 05h54 flying at 3400 ft.

Godfrey led the attack in with Le Prieur rockets which did little damage.
Godfrey called his flight to rejoin and during the process spotted a target of opportunity. A lone DIII coming in to land at Pronville. Godfrey pursed him and shot him up. Fry finished him off. He again joined the reformation and spotting “A” flight in the distance, chased them down on the return trip.

Just as “B” flight was overtaking “A” flight, Godfrey spotted another fleck directly in front of their formation and coming on fast. It turned out to be a Hun Alb DIII, and both Godfrey and the Hun exchanged volleys in passing.
Godfrey turned to gain position on the Hun’s six and in so doing noted that Soden had beat him to it. Godfrey backed off and watched as his flight took turns harassing the enemy down to the ground.

Upon return to base Soden and Fry put in claims.

We encountered numerous Albatross D-III types over Target and engaged while trying to get out. All us made it, but with damage. I shot off 147 rds and maybe got 1 hit. while my machine had 28 holes in it.

Here is my story:
Starting at 22 december 1916 and this is the report from my 3th flight a recon over the front on 24th of december 1916.
Pilot: Antoine Lemmes, Verdun region; flying the Nieuport 12; based at La Cheppe, rank: Caporal at Escadrille N 78,
[Linked Image]

We started from the airstrip myself Antoine Lemmes as the flight leader, Gilbert as my wingman, while Armand Pinsard was the B-flight.
[Linked Image]

After passing the front line we did noticed the impact from the artillery at the warzone.
[Linked Image]

As usually we both, were looking for trouble, so we did enter a very fast flying German scout.
[Linked Image]

Gilbert was after him, while I was in a spin and after recovery, I did not see then anymore. Guess they were both killed, it was all so fast. But where the hell was Pinsard, he should protect us in his Spad7.
[Linked Image]

So alone I went to patrol the German side of the line.
[Linked Image]

After patrolling job was finished I went for home and while circling at the home base, I did see a plane so I made a steep dive to the landing strip and noticed my wingman made a safe trip home. I was very happy he was still alive, unhurt after the encounter of the German scout.
[Linked Image]

edit: question, how to implementate the pictures from the bottom in my story line? Solved thanks Raine.

Put the photo in as an attachment first and post your story. Then click "edit". Open the attached image and right click on "copy image address." Then open the "insert image link" feature in the full editor and when the dialogue box opens and asks for the image's URL, paste in the image address you copied. Post your change and it will appear in the story where you used the insert image link feature.

Strange, the Esc had a visit from the " L epouse du marie de la ville " Inviting all Pilots to a costume ball in two weeks. I wonder which Pilots will still be here by then ?

2 Sections 3 Sop 1A's were on a Scouting trip up near Vimy and spotted 3 Albatross Type machines above and off to the East. 2 went home , but one attacked. after much turning and firing , He dove for the deck and left. My R ear Seat-man got off 1 drum 47 rds at the e/a Hits ? The # 2 a/c got off a number of rds just before we fired Hits ? maybe he was closer We had 2 machines damaged albeit Lite.
