November 28,1915 FFA 33 Bastian's Diary Just arrived Menen Aerodrome.Very exciting! Very eager to get air.I saw my workhorse but now.It is Aviatik C.In the training school has B version.C model has machine guns.Luckily! Offizierstellvertreter Bastian Dietrick Schubert Born in Oberstdorf 5 May 1896 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. November 29-30 I am now acquainted with my observer,Oberleutnant Eberhard Blume.Good fellow! Together we got to know Aviatik. Eberhard and Bastian ready to action! December 1-2 Flights canceled due the snowfall. December 3 Photograph mission Ypres-Messines Ridge. Weather was awful yet! Eberhard and his "tools". Menen gets behind. Ypres ruined city on the right.

Hi lederhosen!

Seb! Quite close my friend!

Albert! How do you take a picture of the ground? Meaning bombing,third party crashed plane etc.

Experiences so far... Paroni1's Dicta: 1.Do not attack two-seater who fly in formation (Henri's fate when he fell into crossfire). 2.Fight only your side(Henri's fate when he bleed out) 3.Don't be greedy(Henri's fate in general!)

November 22 Clash with Eindeckers,Castillac claimed two victories.Both rejected. Capitaine Huillier crashed and killed!Sacre Bleu! Because harsh weather several days not flying. 26 November Revenge in his mind Castillac went to the skies with Turin.They encountered three Aviatik's which escaped.Henri did not gave up the chase.Far behind enemy lines he chose Avi on the right. He get very good hits when suddenly he was shot himself! Henri understood now hit badly and turned home. Blood loss was too heavy and hi crashed to No-Man-Land! So ended a story of our brave air-man. November 26 1915 Sous Lieutenant Henri Caspar Castillac 2 victories 9 claimed 24 missions 24,9 flying hours

SebToombs! Absolute nice skin your Nieuport! Did you make it yourself ? Such a beauty Monique!I wish that Theodore has lucky with her.

November continue... A first encounter with Fokker EIIIs! Although Henri and Huillier claimed one,both rejected! Mon Dieu! Results are seen.The bird just limped home!

November Yet Henri's second victory!

In my experience so far i think DiD creators have gotten close real ww1 air fight. Most of pilots got 0-1 air victories throughout the war. No 200+ victories with this campaign!

AlbertTross! Leopold's story was way too short! It is very painful lose fellow when you are spend much time background story...

November 5 Henri: It would be a routine flight.A lonely Aviatik over Vimy ridge.When i get a good position ,enemy opened fire!My machine got so many hits ,i had to break away from the fight. Jacques counted 72 bullets of my machine.The engine only two cylinders written off. November 6 Henri: Our squadron has now only three fully functional Nieuport. With them we spotted Aviatik's over St. Vith.All drums spend but good results too! Huillier was my witness and now is one Boche less!

Still somehow succeed with AviatikB1 because no rear gunner. Aviatik C give no mercy 50m distance!

Agreed that Lewis drums are finished way too soon!Aiming is also really hard. When is absolutely sure hits,the risk of collision is very high!

November 4 Caporal Lenard Piatte is new arrival. November 6 Hard battle over the trenches Castillac claimed victory over Aviatik C1(denied)! Turin claimed one but counter-fire put him make force-landing.Own side,luckily! Huillier got one and it is confirmed. He awarded Chevalier Legion d'Honneur! Happy Capitaine Huillier.A first ace of Esc 15.French press made them a national hero.
