Flying with Jean Navarre in Esc 67 near Verdun in April 1916. Great skin on Navarre's aircraft.
Downing an Eindecker, it was only when I got close up to the Eindecker I realised you can actually see the bullet wounds on the pilot..... amazing details
"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
