Menen has same than before.Cold,misty and boredom.

We were taken to the Douai's hospital.Cod liver oil was used to treat burns.It helps surprising lot!
We were lucky to survive so little.The birdie could have burn or exploded.
The headquarters became a telegram congratulating on the task performed.It promised also a small home vacation!
Eberhard would travel in his home Bremen and i would go Freiburg.
Home sweet home!

On 17.2.2022 at 3:28 PM, Polovski said:In the next update V1.21 as per the news section here, which is a free update for 2-seater reconnaissance operations. In that, they will sometimes fly alone, or with another craft to help/cover. They will usually fly with more in the flight when out to bomb something.
And defensively they are much better then of course as you say, but also more easily spotted.

Out of gas over the front.The machine just glided on its own side.

Bastian's Diary:
Roth had encountered Nieuport 10 RNAS over the front.Avi was managed to home badly damaged.Englishman crashed No-Man-Land and killed.
Dec. 21-25
Snowfall every day so no flights.
I asked for a Christmas holiday but denied.Verdammt!
The German Press was coming to make a story about the pilots.
The Press would have liked to hear stories air victories but i didn't have any to give.
After this meeting i knew what my goal was.A fighter pilot!
Modest Christmas in Menen.I was so lucky i got a gift fom home.Dry meat and bottle wine!

Battles at Ypres sector are stuck in place.Both sides use photo and recon planes to find out another's plan.
Dec. 7-19
Mostly weather is so rainy or misty that photo quality are not good.
Ypres's bombardment.We use Telefunken direct artillery to the right spot.

AK!
During with my short career with Henry ,i noticed that the wings of the Nieuports were paper!
One tight manouver and then the sounds of destruction began!The lower wings disintegrated in an instant.
So i wish you good luck in the air battle.Bebe's construction is tougher,i hope.

Why two seaters never fly alone?Realism?
Very deadly attack them when you get into crossfire.

Offizierstellvertreter Bastian Dietrick Schubert
Born in Oberstdorf

At a age of 5 family moved to Freiburg in Württemberg.
His father get a job as a forester.He was eager to hunt and Bastian was always with him as he could.
His markmanship skill was useful later on!
August 1914 Bastian belonged XIII Württember Division.Whole autumn was Race to the Sea.
Result was they were stuck in the mud and trenches.The winter he spent digging and installing barbed wire.
Once he and his komrade were going just that work,shrapnell exploded near.Bastian woke in hospital week later.
No front line service any more.Bastian applied to be a pilot.

January 26
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!
