I flew two missions today. In the first one, nothing happened. In the second, my whole flight was shot down. I managed to make a landing, though my Aviatik was also damaged.

MFFA 2 is now grounded until July 1. Once again, I'm the only pilot left in the unit.

My Excel sheet shows that ever since I started this DiD campaign on June 17, MFFA 2 has lost eight Aviatiks, two have been damaged, and 16 pilots and observers have been killed, with two wounded. I'm sure the casualties would have been even heavier if I had been able to fly every day.
