R A Little, outstanding Australian Ace, shot down a German pilot and his observer, and attempted to land nearby.

Upon landing, he hit a hole in the field and overturned, leaving his aircraft in a less than flyable condition.

The German pilot (Niemuller IIRC) quipped "It looks like I shot you down, rather than the other way around".
It still counts
