Albert, that 160 arrived rather suddenly. I don’t know what was worse the SPAD going through the Fokker formation without hitting anything, or the Jasta’s lack of response. Take your pick. Definitely no shortage of SPADs for Werner judging by today’s goings-on. Six confirmed, that’s exactly the opposite of what Raine’s been experiencing lately. So, definitely a good day for Werner. Congrats! That speedy D.VIIF certainly helps. I wonder when Klaus will get his?

No news of the latest two SPAD claims. Jasta 18 was sent to patrol enemy front lines between Marbache and Nancy. Finally it was a quiet day for Klaus. They have not encountered any hostile aircraft throughout the entire mission. It felt like a vacation.
