    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!

    Blood loss was too heavy and hi crashed to No-Man-Land!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    015_Ltt_Schneider.jpg.639773e16a2a2f43100b2ae81b3c57e5.jpgPaul Schneider transfered N113.Replacement should be arrive soon.

    Third Battle of Artois continue.Losses are extremely high and gaining ground are nonexistent.

    Whole October was muddy are rainy.Flights were always when weather allow it.Contacts with Boche however,was not.

    The consolation was that Nieuport was much better plane than Morane.Now there was little possibility gain victories when you have forward shooting machine gun!

    Chief mechanic Jacques Neuville changing a tire from Henri Castillac's plane.

    The day begins brighter than the previous ones.

    Patrol over the Loos.Three Aviatiks appeared.They turned eastward immediately when they noticed us.We catch them anyway.I spend two drum my target.

    In the heat of the battle i drifted too east and too down.Enemys infantry ruins in Lens shot violently.Engine hit!I broke away.The bullet hit the left thigh.

    With the last strength i succeeded to land on the Boche's field.

    I was taken to a military hospital at Douai.I spend there over two weeks.Luckily only a flesh wound.

    After recovering i ended up in a prison camp.After only being there for a day i found the Sanitäre's clothes.

    They helped me get to the no-man-land and finally home.
