The Caproni and one of its SPAD XIII escorts in the foreground and the four German Albatross in the background. |
As an Albatross draws a bead on the Caproni, so does its rear gunner on the Albatross. Unfortunately the Albatross' machine guns jam! |
And down the Albatross goes under the deadly fire from the Caproni's rear gunner. Unfortunately the Caproni took some hits from another Albatross which wounded its rear gunner. |
The SPADs engage the Albatrosses as the Caproni lumbers toward the target, |
One of the SPADs shoots down another Albatross as the Caproni, with an engine on fire, returns to the dubious safety of the Allied lines. |
This was the first outing with a heavy bomber. Although the target was missed, at least two of the German fighters were shot down. I think that with more "practice" the bomb aimer can do a better job.
