Event Narrative
...During the dogfight, I had seen a German naval pilot following us under the clouds; I saw how he flew close over the downed English plane and shed a message bag with his identity. Later he claimed victory, which was, however, revoked by a statement from the wounded English pilot, who peremptorily declared to have been shot down by the ‘Red Baron’! All our aircraft, at least those of Jasta 11, were red up to the cockpit, while von Richthofen's aircraft were completely red.
