Yay for me!

Recommended Posts

Just had a scramble mission, my usual tactic of staying low and flying clear didn't work this time and I copped a few rounds in the engine from an Alb. I was back on the field within three minutes of taking off.

 

But then I had five kills come in confirmed (making six in total) and a medal too!

 

I figure I can coast now. What are they going to do, court-martial me for cowardice? :biggrin:

Had an incredible fight yesterday; our 4 Albatros DIII against 5 brandnew S.E.5a.

I managed not only, to stay alive (with a few holes in my plane), but downed 3 of them.

My wings killed the other two, but got all killed in action.

Now, I came home, but didn't get a claim report - of course not; I had no witnesses...

 

That' life, Siggi. (But I KNOW, I'm a heroe - Lol!!!)
