how many times did 85sqn flights meet up with Dr1s? with exception of Mannock on 22 July, none of the other recorded aces (according to ATT) shot 1 down. does that make it curious as to thier achievements?

60 sqn flamed a Dr1 in June, but no mention of it in the text. but Scott does give reference to Fokker biplanes in August, showing up in numbers. I'd think that if one of his pilots shot down a triplane, it would have been mentioned.... of course, i take into account that his book is more a collection of reports and accounts by Scott and various other pilots...

food for thot....
