Having been fascinated by Major James T.B. McCudden, R.A.F ever since I was a kid I build a replica of his Famous British SE5a and to this day chase various aircraft all over the skies in search of the ACE Status.

The Fokker had by now turned and was coming towards our machine, nose-on, slightly above. Not having a gun mounting to fire in that direction, I stood up, with my Lewis gun to the shoulder, and fired as he passed over our right wing. He carried on flying in the opposite direction until he was lost to view.
We were by now over Douai Aerodrome, and, looking down, I could see several enemy machines leaving the ground. I watched them for a while, and then noticed the Fokker climbing up under our tail. I told my pilot to turn, and then fired half a drum of Lewis at the Fokker at 300 yards range. The Fokker seemed rather surprised that we had seen him, and immediately turned off to my left rear as I was facing the tail.
After this he climbed about 300 feet above us, and then put his nose down to fire. Having been waiting for him, I opened fire at once, and he promptly pulled out of his dive and retired to the distance of 500 yards, at which distance he remained for every time he came closer I fired a short burst, which had the desired effect of keeping him at a distance.
