June 24, 2000 Western Pennsylvania Flight of the Mid-Atlantic Squadron game day at Jim Barber's house

 

Action shot of Jim Barber (purple & green wings) and me (green & white fuselage) in smoking Albatros D.IIIs enduring a top attack from Carl Fritz's 36-mission S.E.5 pilot in February 1918. After a surprise attack by the Brits, Jim took out Don McCalmon's engine over the front, causing him to crash in no-man's-land. Jim was forced to land in German territory by Carl, and I managed to escape.

Carl looks like he's up to someting as he helps hide one of Don's rolls, Don was in an Albatros D.V, Carl in a Fokker Dr.I against my SPAD VII and Jim's Breguet 14. Jim's back-seater hit Don's pilot in the head, sending him spiraling down, allowing Jim and I to effect our escape before Carl finished us off.

Don thinks hard over his next move in his S.E.5a after being shot down in the first two missions.  He knew Jim in his Fokker Dr.I and I in my Albatros D.Va were gunning for him.

Don and Carl box up to protect themselves from the German onslaught in the same mission. It didn't work Jim in his triplane and I in an Albatros V-strutter sandwiched poor Don, forcing him to glide to a landing just short of his own lines, after which we proceeded to chase Carl off the map.

Don and Jim, in Pfalz D.IIIas, team up to fight Carl in a SPAD VII and me in a SPAD XIII. I chased Don into the clouds, but as things were breaking up, Jim lightly wounded my pilot causing him to pass out and break up in a spin.
