Ganz felt good to be back in his Albatros. The 9 machines were all on the field ready to take off. Today's flight was balloon defense SW of St. Quentin. As they left the earth and started the slow left turn Ganz noted Barenfanger suddenly pull up. He knew what that meant and scanned the skies above. 5 machines at about 1500m. Then he saw the bombs impact the field. He climbed for height but the flight was attacked by the 5 Strutters and it became a low level twisting dual. Ganz fired a burst at one Strutter crossing his path then saw a Nieuport pass overhead. "This is not good" he thought . As he looked left his heart went into his throat. Not 30 yards abreast of him was a Strutter and he was staring straight into the muzzle of the gunners Lewis. Bullets hit his machine from engine to tail. He side slipped away and dove. Then he smelled petrol. How he was not hit was a miracle but he still had to get down. Luckily no one attacked as he hit the field and came to a stop. He jumped out of his machine as fast as his bum leg allowed and ran to a gun emplacement for cover. He had a front row seat to the show. It was all over in 10 minutes and the flight came in. All were damaged but no one was hurt and Barenfanger had brought down one of the Strutters.
Wulf walked up to Ganz and asked how the flight felt.
"Well, you told me if I didn't feel 100 percent to come back." Ganz pointed over to his bullet ridden Albatros, "As you can see, Sir. She's far from 100 percent. So I landed as fast as I could."
Wulf laughed out loud. Ganz did not.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end.
