Today was Achille Renard's last mission in Flanders region. The entire Escadrille is transferring to Verdun tomorrow and they are finally getting the N 11's. For today, they've decided to say good-bye to the local Hun. They found one nearby, a brave chap. Stayed behind against overwhelming odds while his comrade turned tail. It was probably not the send off he had in mind.




"Take the cylinder out of my kidneys,
The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
