“1555 hrs, above Bapaume-Albert road, near Contalmaison. Sopwith 1; burnt. Englishman (beginner). With five planes of Jasta 11, I attacked several low-flying English one-seaters north-east of Albert. I approached to within 50 metres behind one of the Englishmen and shot him down in flames with a few shots. The burning machine crashed betwee Contalmaison and Albert, and continued to burn on the ground. The bombs apparently carried, exploded a few minutes later. Weather: started fine, becoming cloudy; wind later.”
