I take off from the field at 7.00 am. I was escorting sLt. Falconfab and Cp Gugliandalf. (wow ) We reached 3,000 ft over St. Marie Capelle airfield, then we headed west toward Verdun in line formation.
We reached the front at 7.30 am with strong wind coming from N-W. After some minutes of patrol over the line we spotted three enemy machines, about 500 ft lower, heading W.
Cp. Gugliandalf start to approach, with sun on our tail and nose over enemies back.
Some minutes later we started to dive and engaged the last machine, that suddendly start to spin followed by an impressive red flame.
We engaged combat with the remanents fighters, and I never seen this model before. They were similar to "albatros" DII, but were more nimble and had V structure wing reinforcement instead of a II structure. (...this is an Albatros DIII...)
I had to break off the engagement because I run out of ammo. Lt. Falconfab crashed ( ) some miles inside our lines, killing some chiken. And Guglia jammed.
The new enemy fighters are superior of our Nieuport.
I KINDLY ASK TO ADD A LEWIS GUN TO OUR NIEUPORTS !!! 
Lt. Zif
