During the last months of 1917, a fighter pilot in the Royal Flying Corps, Lieutenant E.M. Roberts, gave this account of the deadly game of "Boche-hunting above the clouds" for the editors at VANITY FAIR magazine:
"I noticed he was going down a little, evidently for the purpose of shooting me from underneath. I was not quite sure as yet that such was really his intention; but the man was quick...he put five shots into my machine. But all of them missed me."
"I maneuvered into an offensive position as Quickly as I could, and I had my machine gun pelting him...The Hun began to spin earthward."
