Event Narrative

"And then the dance of death of the afternoon begins. Five Englishmen are shot down, including the commander's 63rd aerial victory. His meagre report: "With Lieutenant v. Richthofen and Lieutenant Gußmann we attacked an enemy single-seater squadron of 10 Englishmen at 2.30 in the afternoon, roughly over the positions. After firing at several Englishmen, I came in close behind a single-seater, which crashed burning in the area of the quarry wood after 100 shots.""
