Morning Escort :: Covered an RE 8 going to targets near Cambrai Lots of e/a flying by ,but no attacks
Patrol: I was Acting Flight Leader for a Sweep near Vimy and I didnt do to great. Our 6 a/c spotted and flew under a flight of e/a. I kept such a close watch that I didnt see a Lone ? Albatross come up behind me. I heard a Rat a tat then spotted holes in my kites lower right wing. I broke left while my wingmate broke right. The e/a peeled off after my wingman so I kept in a turn and came up his tail. Holding down the triggers, he came apart. The rest of the flight had tangled with the other e/a and got 2 destroyed mine made 3. B Flt had 2 a/c damaged.
