Whilst on O.P., we had just dropped our bomb at COURTRAI, when we observed 12 Fokker Bi-planes approaching from N.E. My observer singled out one E.A. and opened fire with double Lewis Guns, and after a fairly short burst, E.A. caught fire and went down out of control. We were unable to pin point crash owing to close proximity of other E.A.
