Event Narrative

1700 hrs, two kilometres north-east of Albert. RE old type, burnt; Englishman. A quarter of an hour after my first victory on this day, I detected in exactly the same spot, at an altitude of 700 metres, an RE two-seater. I went into a dive behind it, and from close range I fired about 100 rounds, and set him on fire. At first the Englishman defended himself with the observer's machine gun. The plane burned in the air until impact. Half an hour later, the machine continued to burn on the ground.
