Photo recon to Messines Ridge.
It started like usual.When we were home return,Aa smokes appeared further.When nearer,little spots were seeing.Dogfight!
Battles raging at land and in the air.Ypres Sector.
We joined this consert where Fokker Eindeckers and Bristol Scouts fighted.We succeed shoot couple of bullets but EA escaped!
On the way home,far our side,we spotted lonely Nieuport.Began dogfight where we both tried to get tail.Several burst Eberhard shoot him.Some point enemy gave up and disengage battle.
I followed and i noticed we were faster than his bird.He get lower and lower.The trenches were shot violently.Suddenly Nieuport curved tightly and smashed to the ground!
I was sure our bullets had wounded the pilot,so we claimed a victory.We'll see if infantry guys agree this!
