Another thing that makes me think that this is just a "line" is what were six unarmed two-seaters doing footling around at the front? Sounds like something the USAS might have done out of bravado, but surely not the "sensible" Germans?

Anyway, I'd always considered that this incident took place on 4 September 1917 when Mannock claimed three DFW C's in the morning, two of which were officially recorded as Indecisive (Sgt L A Herbert shared in the other), and another in the afternoon.
