A British airman, at 16 000 feet over Ostend, rode a shot-off tail section while the machine spiraled uncontrollably. He balanced the inverted craft by astride the fuselage, guided it toward German lines, then crashed, sustaining injuries but recovering. A second plane also fell from 13 000 feet, and a pilot parachuted at 9 000 feet.
