It’s late 1916 and the air war over the Western Front has taken its toll – and both sides are conducting fighter patrols with whatever planes they have left.
It’s the first week of November 1918 and the end of the war seems imminent. Will the ambitious American fighter pilots be able to win glory by knocking down some Germans before it’s all over?.
In November of 1917 at 5,550 feet, a British patrol of SE 5 and DH 5 fighters engage a German flight that includes a DFW C.V, an LVG C.V and their escort of Albatros D.V aircraft.
German and British batteries are dueling with gas shells and a flight of Bristols is tasked with taking out the Hun guns, but German fighters interfere as they begin the attack.
It’s Christmas Day 1917 and the modest celebration at headquarters is interrupted by some noisy, uninvited guests – and they’re not bringing presents, they’re dropping bombs!
A well-protected pair of Belgian two-seaters are tasked with a dual photo mission, but the intercepting Albatri and Pfalz’s are going to make it a challenge.
