| Lt.Lagesse shoots down Ltn.d.R.Schultz |
The third scenario for the Algernon Pulls It Off! Raben's Ravens project has now been drafted, based on a dogfight on 6th June 1918. In this action, five Fokker DVII's pounced on a patrol of six SE5a scouts of No.29 Squadron, RAF, but got more than they bargained for. The RAF veterans shot down two of the Jasta 18 machines for no loss including one of their leading aces, Ltn.Mendel.
In this scenario, not only are the Jasta 18 pilots slightly outnumbered, they are also up against two RAF junior aces, Lt.Lagesse and Lt.Ross, who both made ace on the same day. Although most of the pilots on both sides are veterans, this will still be a tough game for the Germans to win, given the parity of experience and skill, together with a slight edge in performance for the Fokker DVII. Tally Ho!
