Event Narrative
"They came on 27 March. They came en masse. Not at high altitudes, but where the commander had expected them: close above the German infantry lines. It is certain that Richthofen's heart leapt at the sight. Now he could show the infantry that he was there when they needed him.
Shortly before 8 o'clock in the morning, the Hornets of Jagdgeschwader I thundered between the British infantry planes, and this day was to be a terrible one for the red, white and blue rings."
