“On 24 November, word seems to have spread that the “Baron’s” red planes have arrived.

There is no other explanation for the fact that remarkably few aircraft were visible on that day. Only a few English planes were observed far behind their own lines. This gave the squadrons of the wing sufficient time to set up at the new airfields in the Avesnes le Sec area.”
