George Lyons
Sergeant

Chocques, Flanders
May 1915

(Note: A two-fer!)

Twenty-third mission Sunday May 2 AM...My first bombing mission in a few days, this time to Houplin. Intell says we had a smashing success! (Note: airfield mod really adds much! )



My trick seems to work, lining up straight behind the flight leader. This will not work when I am the flight leader!

Twenty-fourth mission Sunday May 2 PM...Another bombing mission, this time to the front lines just east of Loos once again. This was a rare three crate flight, but none of us made any substantial damage to the entrenchments. Much more difficult to bomb the front lines.



(Note: and now for some attempts at his-res pics like Fullofit and many others...)







...I noticed a new type of aeroplane in front of the hangars...looked like a single seater.
