High noon - with three Britons

I am working on one icedent in 1917. CARL-AUGUST VON SCHOENEBECK (Jasta 11) writes in his memories about one day in the summer of 1917 when Jasta 11 was disturebed eating lunch. Three Britons (or at least British Airplanes) passed the Jasta's quartier.
Von Richthofen himself ordere three pilots to get the Alliied planes down - which happened a few minutes later.

The Germans were very amused to learn from the three Alliied pilotes, that they had a bet with their comrades: We bet that we can fly above the quartiers of Jasta 11 at 12.00 o'clock - while they are having lunch...

Does anyone know, who these three pilots were?

Dude,i don't know there names,but they had some BALLS

I suspect their names were Larry, Curly and Moe!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have a look at the casualties for that day and get back to you.
It reminds me of a quote from the movie "Top Gun":
"the defence department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were STUPID"

I'm a dot

The story remins me of a WWII british cartoon i saw there is a B-17 crashed in berlin with nazi stormtroopers all around and the crew is standing on the courner yelling "Hey Taxi" at a nazi stalf car

[Darryl]

Or John Frost at Arnhem, who allegedly greeted a messenger from the Germans, who wanted to discuss terms of surrender, with:
"Out of the question old chap, We've absolutely no where to keep all of you"

I haven't heard this story before,but poor chumps..talk about a joke gone wrong!!!("I didn't see him at all,Carstairs,did you??!")And,if it were true,I'd be willing to bet that they'd had more than one gin each at lunch!Cheers.Mukund.
