To quote Profile Publications "It was a rather undistinguished little aeroplane" Perhaps famous during the conflict as being the first to have been built in much larger numbers abroad than in it's country of origin. In our scenario it is just another two seater nosing around the front where in our opinion it had no right to be. Mark and I determined to shoot this impudent intruder (piloted by Windy Jack) down in our well tried and tested Fokker E.III's.
Marc closed in on the right and I on the left so there would be no escape for this enemy. Surprisingly he did not run but instead attacked my green Fokker most vigorously using his Sharp Eye skill card as well to inflict maximum damage!
Our ferocious Frenchman now turns his attention to my Wingman Mark. Perhaps it is Mark who should be running for home?
In just a few minutes our easy conquest turned into a nightmare where the two seater out flew and outgunned us.
Perhaps this plane set the tone for a much more prolific and successful newer model - the Bristol F2B.
A good game. Well done Windy Jack.
