Jean Lafitte
Sgt, SOP 43
Verdun




May 16, 1917.


Army Hq called said they needed a Spur Line bombed and maybe One a/c could get through the Scout Patrols. Since I was the only pilot in the Mess, I got the job. Stayed away from any dots in the sky and went to max altitude. I did get close ,but no cigar. I ended up getting chased back to our side by 5 angry looking enemy Scouts.
