Jasta 11 (counter B) suffered the loss of 3 Fokker D.VIIs as Schmeling (counter G) couldn't pull out of his low attitude spin and crashed into the ground. German troops found him dead.

Albers pulled up, just above the ground, clipping the newly emerging spring buds off of a stand of trees. Wasting no time, he turned his machine towards the trenches and the sanctuary of the German lines. He had no altitude however, and the Tommies in the trenches watched his entire spin to the ground.
