About 1145 I attacked with Leutnant Wortmann, at 2.800 metres altitude, and south of Arras, enemy one-seater Vickers squadron of eight machines. I singled out one machine and after a short curve fight I ruined the adversory’s motor and forced him to land behind our lines near Mercatel. Occupant not seriously wounded.
