Event Narrative

"His Staffel leader, Victor Carganico, recalled: "At the time he came to my Staffel as a two-seater pilot, he was already urging that I send him for two or three days to the Heldenvater, the head of the Air Park in Montmédy, Keller, for single-seat fighter instruction. After his return, I place my own single-seater at his disposal, as, due to engine failure through no fault of his own, he had had to 'set down' near Verdun.""
