Once again, my wife and I took to the skies in an attempt to put all of the series 4 planes through their paces. Previously, we flew a recon mission where I took a single Rumpler with 2 Pfalz's as escorts while she patrolled the target area with three S.E.5a's. See this link:

Last night Allison wanted to recreate the mission but instead she took up a Breguet BR 14 B2 with two RAF S.E.5a's as escorts while I patrolled the target area with three Pfalz D.III's. Allison started off the mission so focused on getting her Breguet and escorts down to the correct altitude for a good photograph of the target, I thought I was going to have an easy time of splashing her Breguet.
The tide certainly turned against me and by the end of the mission all three of my Pfalz's where in Pflames! On the upside, my persistance did pay off and I was able to bring down her Breguet after it had made a successful photo run. So in the end, I guess you could say I was victorious since the recon photos never made it back, but I lost all three Pfalz D.III's in the process.
For a play by play "video" of the action check out this 37 second stop motion movie of the battle: http://www.youtube.com/user/legacyrkh?feature=mhum
If you notice near the end of the movie, Holtzem's D.III is about to finish off Dallas' S.E.5a, when Bishop slides in and scores a game ending 1 card hit = 5 points of damage , sending Holtzem into the dirt! The video also has sound so turn on your speakers if you have them.
