AFTER FIERCE AIR DUEL
British Aeroplane, After Disabling a
German, Is Hit and Bursts
Into Blaze.

LONDON. June ~. 1854 a.m-A dra-
matte air duel. in which 4 British
aer oplane accommodating over the Bel
giau town at Poelcappelle, at a height
of 1000 feet, met and engaged a large
German biplane which had double en-
gines and propellers, is described by
the eyewitness at the British army
headquarters in a narrative made pub
lie today by the official press bureau
He writes:
THE German machine first cirlced
around ours, at the same time shooting
a machine gun. but SO far as known
not inflicting any damage. Then our
Observer fired fifty rounds in return
at range of less than 200 yards 1t
had some effect, for the hostile biplane
was seen to waver, and after ten more
shots it's engines stopped. The enemy
airplane then dived to 4 level of 1000
feet, where it again f1attened it's course,
flying slowly and erratically.
GIides Down Ablaze.
Under heavy anti-aircraft fire from
below our pilot turned toward our line
to complete his reconnaissance When
his machine was hit he decided to make
for home, but the petrol tank had been
pierced, and as the airplane glided
downward on slant the petrol was
set alight by the exhaust and ran, blaZ-
ing, down the front of the body of the
aeroplane, which travelled on to the
accompaniment of musketry as the un-
used rounds of machine gun arI1muni-
ton exploded in the heat and the pilots
loaded revolver was discharged.
."The pilot, however, did not lose con-
troll and the aeroplane proceeded stead
ily on a downward course. Before it
had reached the ground a large part of
the framework had been destroyed.
Even the hard wood blades of the pro-
peller were SO burned that the propel-
Ter ceased to revolve.
when the machine finally landed
back Of our lines both officers had been
severely burned and the pilot climbing
out of the blazing wreck tripped over
a wire stay and sprained his ankle
