Mission for today.
Way Points.
Our SPAD XIII's of Esc N.78 on the way to the rendezvous.
Rendezvous successful. Brugeuts of Esc SOP.29 with escort in the background.
Enemy below!
Fokker DVII's of Jasta 2.
After a dive a DVII comes into range...
...a 2 second burst. A flamer!
I search but can't find any friendly aircraft. There's still two enemy left and so I break in towards the attack. I recognize the aircraft...it's Karl Bolle, a known ace!
Now my hands are full. He's only ever in my sights for a fraction of a second and there's still another enemy somewhere around. Not a healthy situation!
I'm low on fuel and decide descretion is the better part of valour and so use my superior diving speed to disengage and hope that the friendly ground units will keep the enemy from chasing.
My engine cuts out from lack of fuel and I have to glide home.
Completion of a successful 2nd mission.
