I'm just glad my target went evasive and got separated from the rest of his pack or I'd probably be dead from the others.
Yes, very probably. I've read/seen in several places that German two-seaters were very adept at providing covering fire for each other.
Some were specifically tasked with doing so. I think this bunch was sent to bomb my own aerodrome, as that's where they ended up. We chased them in our slow Pups all the way from the lines (and about 2kft below). Our archie boys almost killed me, as you can see. They weren't holding back.
Almost forgot.. I got an MC for the mission. Too bad I can't properly celebrate the big show I put on over everyone's head while I'm recovering.
