Derring do and death as WWI ends.
"After manoeuvring round each other for a few seconds, I climbed up to him, holding my fire, but keeping so he could not fire at me. He had a synchronised gun firing through his propeller. At last I was able to outclimb him, and then, after a quick bit of turning, got in behind his tail. (I was simply chortling with glee - different to when the fight started.) Then I gave it him. I fired over 100 rounds into him, and, although he dodged, he couldn't get me off his tail. Then suddenly he went down like a stone. I thought I had got him all right; but after going down about 7,000 feet he gradually flattened out and, I think, landed.
