Ziggy’s single mission of the day was to patrol over the friendly aerodrome at Varsenaere. Vzfw Schniedewind had to leave formation with engine problems, leaving the Schwarm one man short. Fortunately no enemy machines were encountered over the assigned area. Ltn Gros broke his landing gear during the landing, leaving him with a bump on the head from a sudden stop. It is estimated it will take three days to repair the damage. Same thing cannot be said about the bump on Leutnant’s head. Ziggy’s blisters, on the other hand, didn’t give him any trouble today.
