The what? We heard about it months ago, but I haven't seen one so far.

I'm hoping for more of a challenge than the eindecker can give.
(of course, I last was injured by a 2 seater, but eindeckers are so bad that I scored two kills in a BE2c.)

Sadly, it'll be a good while before we on the allied side have anything to play with. (Oh, pup, where art thou?)

Robert Wiggins, is flying a pup..NOW

Go to page 199, and he has a video there of an evening/night airfield raid with rockets on the pup.

Nieuport 11 "Bebe"


07:46 Line Patrol East of Loos

No enemy aircraft seen.


16:21 Line Patrol Between Poperinghe and Ypres

B Flight took off 8 strong on a lovely afternoon and upon arriving at the lines encountered 6 Fokkers co-alt which our flight leader engaged. The fighting became general and we quickly separated from each other's sight. I downed one Fokker then returned to the nearest British airfield as my plane was handling in a peculiar manner. It was found I had light damage from overstressing the wings. I was ordered to return to Furnes by car with my plane scheduled to be flown there after repairs..need to take better care of my Bebe!

As we compared notes back at Furnes that evening it was later determined that all six Fokkers were shot down with the loss of one Belgian pilot killed and Bebe destroyed. Two other Bebes were lightly damaged in addition to my plane. My fight was rather protracted against what appeared to be an experienced German pilot.

Note: I did not file this claim in WOFF, so now my WOFF Pilot Book matches my DiD survey with 3 victories.

Not too late to get into this, is it?

From my understanding, just start a career on the current date in 1915?

Chris, best you read the rules in post #1 to get the idea and details.
And yes - aerh, no - it's not too late, you will be welcome!
It starts on the current date, but in 1916.

Yeah, I had read through, just wasn't sure of the date, whether it was 1915 or 1916.

Flight Lt. Edward Eastwood
Aug,23, 1916
Recon near Armenteres. I lead 1 other machine with 2 escorts to patrol area without incident. Shortly after beginning ou recon, my gunner opens up and I have some new Hun biplane scout on my tail. Lucky for me one of the escorts comes to my aid and he is no match for us both. I get lucky and send him spinning intoNML. Climbing for altitude I hear my gunner open up again and find 4 EIII's intent on my demise. The next few minutes are a blur of bursts, near misses and tracers as I remember seeing 2 of them smoking bad. Next I hear bullets striking my kite, one grazes my arm and I smell petrol. I go into a dive west and the engine quits. Capt. Drury is steady shootingand I see tracers coming by but there is not much I can do but try and put us down safely. I manage to get us down and the Hun banks over, salutes, and heads home. Back at base we learn that all other pilots are missing. No flying until we can get some more planes and pilots.


Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end.
