Fullofit - Kongratulations to Klaus on his konfirmations. Then on to today's goings-on. A good fight with the Amerikaners as it seems they always arrive with a height advantage. Klaus had taken care of one, that is until someone else in the Jasta thought 'i'll just nick this one with a couple of bullets of my own before he hits the deck' instead he nicked it by smashing into it...lunatic.
Then a prolonged run in with some Breguets. For a while there they double teamed Klaus very well indeed and he was taking some punishment but the pugnacious Prussian stayed on his course and brought the Frenchman down. Then some more to add to the mix, good show.
As for Sigmund, he's happy downing whatever turns up but is quite looking forward to meeting something different for a change. As for Bieber, he's unbreakable that one. Funny enough he's unique in being the only pilot in his Majesty's forces to have the rest of the Jasta offer to paint his aircraft for him. Alas he declined.
Carrick - A couple of non events for Cecil, some time to take a breather.
NR - Congratulations on the confirmation but to celebrate he has a run in with some hard to find bombers. He stayed with it and kept plugging away, taking hits in the process but in the end he won. The bomber crashed and he didn't and it all happened over his side. But then the bad news about the lost pilots and the crazy news about the next sortie. He did his best against that railyard and made it home, that's as much as he could hope for.
"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
