25 December 1915
Am Weihnachtstage 1915
Schwerin

‘I took my third exam on Christmas Day 1915. I combined it with a flight to Schwerin to see the Fokker works. I took my mechanic with me as an observer and later flew with him from Berlin to Breslau, from Breslau to Schweidnitz, from Schweidnitz to Lüben, from Lüben to Berlin, stopping off everywhere, visiting friends and relatives. As an old observer, I didn’t find it difficult to orientate myself in the plane.’
