Having settled into routine again I was on patrol. I happened upon one of my friends in the Lafayette Escadrille playing cat and mouse with 4 Hun kites so I decided to join the game.
There were two Eindeckers and two Halberstadts in the fray; I took on one of the Halberstadts first. We scratched each other on the first pass.

But then I got in behind him after pulling an Immelman maneuver. Then damage I scored was telling and he spiraled down out of control. I then went after on of the Fokkers.

I punished him severely before he was able to break away. After a long wide loop I engaged the other Halberstadt and then after pulling another Immelman finished off the Fokker I had punished earlier.

I then went after the remaining Halberstadt who was already hurting from the last brush. We both pulled Immelman maneuvers, but he didn't fire immediately upon coming out of the loop. I did. And it was over. I scanned the area for the other Fokker and the Nieuport 11. The Fokker was flying back to his lines and the Nieuport had gone down.
