A beautiful picture Sir.
Douglas Campbell describes in glorious detail, interpreted by Edward Rickenbacker starting on page 123 of his book,
Fighting The Flying Circus, a one on one fight a short distance behind the German lines, near Flirey. On May 31st 1918, "Doug went out on voluntary patrol, i.e. Doug went out looking for trouble,"
and while flying his Nieuport 23 four miles behind the German lines spotted a Rumpler (not sure which model) near the lines at Flirey. The Rumpler crew appeared to be making orbits while taking photographs of troop concentrations at the lines. Campbell describes a 15 minute fight with a Veteran crew manning the Rumpler, highly experienced and not once attempting to retreat from the battle. At one point, after his observer was unable to damage Campbell's Nieuport, the Rumpler pilot even attempted to fight him head on. Campbell was victorious in the end, hurrying back to the Aerodrome to tell his story of this incredulous battle with the Heinies. It's a great book and a highly recommended WWI aerial combat read.
