1918 Two Birds With One Stone - Russell Smith

Two Birds with One Stone depicts an engagement on Sept. 9, 1918, in which Capt. H.P. Lale and 2/Lt H.L. Edwards achieved simultaneous victories against Fokker DVIIs while flying Bristol fighter E'2181. Lale's combat report reads as follows:"One Fokker Biplane passed within 30 yards of Bristol Fighter E2181. Capt. Lale put about 50 rounds into it and sent it down in flames. The observer (2/Lt Edwards) was in the meantime firing with double Lewis gun at another E.A. about 40 yards away on the left. This E.A. first spun, then appeared to gain control, but a few seconds later burst into flames. Both these E.A. appeared to be falling into the middle of St. Quentin."

1918 52 Sqn RE8 - Bus Number 7 - Russell Smith....

This particular "Harry Tate", RE8 A4267, served with 52 Sq from February to March of 1918. Unlike most RE8s which carried only single Lewis gun at the observer's position, this one carried a twin Lewis mount. Interestingly, the covering of the center portion of the bottom wings was cut away (doubtless for improved visibility), leaving only the spar tubes.

Finally, at 300 feet, the Albatros signalled surrender and landed. The first time an airplane surrendered in the air to an unarmed pilot.

1917 The sergeant and the cow - Merv Corning....

1917, January 7. Sergeant Thomas Mottershead of No.20 Squadron and his observer Lieut. W.E. Gower, in a F.E.2D were attacked by a flock of Albatros DIIs. The Fee (once called a "cow and a blunderbuss") fought hard. But its gas tank exploded. Literally sitting on fire, Mottershead miraculously landed the flaming plane. Gower lived. The Sergeant didn't. But he became the only British non-commissioned officer awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery in the air during World War I.

1917 Duel Above the Piave - Ivan Berryman....

On 23rd November 1917, flying in company with Frank Linke-Crawford, Oberleutnant Brumowski shared in the destruction of two Italian Nieuport scouts near the mouth of the Piave River, as depicted here, flying Albatros D.III (Oeffag)153.45 of Flik 41J bearing his personalized skull motif and all-red colour scheme applied over the original mottled factory finish. Frank Linke Crawford's Albatros can be seen circling in the distance.

1917 Ace of the Isonzo - Ivan Berryman....

Scoring a handful of victories in May and June of 1917, Austro-Hungarian ace Godwin von Brumowski added steadily to his ever-increasing score on the Italian Front. But in August, with the increased Italian activity in the air in preparation for and during the 11th Battle of the Isonzo, he entered a period of extraordinary success, scoring 18 victories between 10th and 28th, most of these being scored in his favorite Hansa Brandenburg D.1 (KD) 28.69 Star-Strutter, depicted here above Plava on the banks of the Isonzo river, sending a Caudron C.IV down in flames on the early evening of the 11th, his second for the day. Brumowski's aircraft was notable for its camouflaged upper wing surfaces, a swirl pattern in olive greens that he had designed himself and which blended his plane into the green wooded foothills of the Southern Austrian Alps, north of his base at Sesana, outside of Trieste.

1917 11-21 Balloon Fever - Merv Corning....

1917 November, 21. Leutnant von Eschwege, famed "Eagle of the Aegean Sea" and greatest German ace on the Balkan front, swooped down on the unarmed observation balloon. He ignored the British gunners 2,000 feet below, and, a few yards from the balloon, he opened up. Surprisingly, the British didn't fire. The observer didn't parachute to safety, But the balloon. burst into a explosion that destroyed von Eschwege and his Halberstadt D.III. The balloon was bugged. The observer was a man of straw.
