1ere Escadrille
1 Sergent Willy Rogier
PilotStatus: ok
Squadron: Escadrille 1ere
Aircraft: Nieuport 17
AircraftStatus: ok
TimeIn: 1 hour+
Claims: #7 & #8 2-seaters forced down
narrative: While on patrol, I spotted two E.A. 2 seaters. I singled one out (#7) and ended up chasing it to the east. It took a long time before I got into shooting range [I blew my alt advantage:-)] and we traded shots as I chased him all the way to his aero. I fired at him until he landed, but decided to break off to avoid AA and head back and look for other 2 seater. To my surprize, the other 2 seater (#8) was just coming into view. I shot him as we passed and continued shooting until he landed. Again I broke off and resumed my patrol.

Aircraft: Nieuport 17
AircraftStatus: destroyed
TimeIn: -1 hour
narrative: No one in my flight showed up, so i took of on my patrol as ordered> i didn't find anyone at the waypoint, so i circled to gain some more altitude. Once i was pleased with my alt. I started to fly the rest of the patrol, was about Mid Mud, when i ran into a flight of 5 or so enemy scouts slightly below me, i decided to turn around and run for a drome, but the Hun Planes were to fast, got gang-banged by 5 or so, fought for a little while, put some shots in a few, but then my wing got shot and the lower left wing came off, tried to land at the remains of an old aerodrome, but my wheels were also shot up, and they hit a rock, causing them to break and send my plane flying.

AircraftStatus: ok
TimeIn: 1 hour+
Claims: possibly one/ undetermined
narrative: Been battling a cold the last few days (real life sucks), got my orders late that i would be heading up Esc 1, arrived at field half hour late but found one of my flight there and began our patrol. after 20 minutes of flying we were set upon by two german scout formations flying at split alt both well above us. At first we attempted to not engage but the lower of the german flight over took us and we were forced to oblige, my wingman #8 put up a gallant fight, both of us holding off what looked to be at least 6 enemy scouts for a good amount of time, during the course of the battle I damaged 3 or 4 of the german albatros' (i was unable to determine my wingmans status do to the great amount of confusion in the fight :) i believe during the course of this battle one damaged german scout stalled and crashed, pilot unknown, victor undetermined, very confusing, unsure about this. end of report.

Claims: Damaged Factory 321 - Photo send to HQ
narrative: Turkish Grip has taken out almost our entire escadrille, no need for Germans this season at all. My observer and I were the only two seater on the field (though a quick trip to the latrine did make us a few minutes late). We lifted off alone.
Per orders we flew parallel to NML then dashed acrossed far south of normal patrol. We were alone at 1000m, heavy with bombs. Thank the gods I had one of the Strutters instead of that demonically slow Be2c!
First bombing mission today. Plane handles quite a bit more heavily than when we are carrying two cameras. In any case, I do hope that we are mentioned in dispatches, since we go aligned well and dropped one bomb on the front door of one building and one down the smoke pipe of another on the same run!
Glory was fleeting as a damned d3 showed up and took us down after three passes. Enrich fired madly with the rear gun but only succeeded in locking it up. I almost had a bead on him when all went silent.

Squadron: Escadrille 6me
Aircraft: Strutter
AircraftStatus: ok
TimeIn: 1 hour+
narrative: Took off on bombing assignment. Gained altitude after several uneventful minutes. At target I came down to XXXXm and after four runs, was unsuccesfull in damaging the target. Picked a secondary and was also unsuccessful with the last bomb. The Flak was extremely heavy. One burst was just off my left wing. Another just underneath the fuselage. I headed back to base scanning for enemy scouts but fortunately encountered none.
