One of our ‘planes came down under control in a field both pilot & observer slightly wounded. Machine perforated with bullet holes. Oil valve pierced by bullet, propeller also. Steering gear jammed in fact a most narrow escape for both men. Observer claimed he brought down two Huns during the day. Machine was an old DeHavilland but reliable.
4 of our Triplanes bring down 5 Huns. All ours returned safely. There were 7 Huns all told. The others “beat it”.
