Event Narrative
‘2. 7. 1917.
Deulemont, between the lines, 10.20 in the morning.
I attacked the foremost aeroplane of an enemy squadron. The observer collapsed at the first shots. The pilot was fatally shot shortly afterwards. The R.E. reared up. I fired at the rearing aircraft from a distance of 50 metres with a few more shots until the flames burst out of the aircraft and the enemy crashed burning.
von Richthofen, Rittmeister and commander of Jagdgeschwader I."
