13 June 1915 Sgt. Bryan Smythe Warbird Rising 6th Squadron, RAF Abeele, Flanders, France
13 June 1915 No word yet on when the squadron is going to exchange the Fe2 for the Be2s. We are also supposed to be getting some additional scouting aircraft. We already have two, and Supply says a third is will be waiting for pick up at St. Omer very soon. While I would like to get a Scout, I still have trouble with just handling the BE. It looks like I’ll be assigned to “B” flight. The Flight Commander tells me not to worry about my lack of experience in the air, because at the rate they are flying now, I’ll have twenty hours by next week. That would double my flight time. I can’t imagine flying that much! Today we did an artillery spotting mission to support a French attack to the south. Very quiet. We took no fire, and saw no hostile aircraft. I’m still having trouble keeping up with the Fee. 13 June 1915-Trying to keep up with an Fe2
No man commands safely unless he has learned well how to obey.
