Aviators in Mid Air Fight Over Poelkapelle
A British recon aircraft over Poelkapelle at 4000 feet engaged a large German biplane. The German machine fired first, our observer returned fire, and the enemy’s engines stopped. The British plane, though fuelled by a pierced tank, glided toward our lines and landed behind them, its frame burned and propeller blades charred. The pilot, though injured, escaped with his machine in ruins and recoiled through shrapnel as serviceable parts were salvaged.
