I dived down firing into one of them (Halberstadt single seater) from the rear. He turned on his right side and slipped out, then his nose went down, then he slipped, spun and nose-dived completely out of control. I then looked for my flight. I saw a HA shot down by an F.E. The Hun appeared to be absolutely out of control and flopped about like a leaf. Observed what I thought was an F.E. rolling over and over in the air. It appeared to have been hit in the tail by an AA shell. Saw pieces of fabric floating in the air above it. Saw a black Albatross scout go spinning and fluttering down for three or four thousand feet.

North of Cambrai � Arras Road Albatross scout Met an Albatross about half-way between Arras and Cambrai, and North of the road. FS.Lt. Casey dived and fired on it from from behind and I think he hit the pilot because the machine went down apparently out of control. About 10 minutes later we met another Albatross Scout a little further East. F.S.Lt. Casey fired on it and it came my direction. I dived on it from in front and the side and it did a climbing turn up to me. I fired about 40 rounds at the nose of the HA and saw my tracers hit his fuselage. Fired until I was about 30 ft. from him, then he appeared to be starting to slide slip and I had to pull up to keep from colliding. Looked around and he was going down in a perpendicular spin. The whole fight was seen by FS.Lt. Casey.

He fired at FSLt. Armstrong head on and then nose dived very steeply. I fired at him as he dived past me, then he made for his own lines. He dived so fast we had no opportunity of catching up to him.
