The second scenario in the Jasta 18 'Raben's Ravens' set has now been drafted, with research based on some primary and secondary sources of evidence. This scenario features a dogfight between a pair of experienced Jasta 18 pilots and three American aviators of the 103rd Aero Squadron, no sprogs themselves but definitely the underdogs in this instance. Two of the three were shot down after being 'bounced' by a top cover flight in a well-planned ambush, with 1st Lt.Paul Baer, an ace pilot and veteran of the Lafayette Escadrille being wounded and captured as a PoW. The scenario is written and now just needs to be play tested, once I get round to finding some 1/600th scale SPAD VII and XIII scouts, unless I go down the 1/300th route sooner rather than later?
