In Coppens’ bio, you will also read “After additional training in France, Coppens began flying two-seaters in combat during 1916. The following year, he was assigned to single-seat fighters and soon became an expert at shooting down enemy observation balloons” So he was assigned to the Hanriot in 1917 but did not hit his first balloon until May 1918. “soon” ?
