Drachen Slayer

Photo Details
Russell Smith Forum Ace Registered: October 2003 Location: Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,032 users gallery	Drachen Slayer is a depiction of Frank Luke’s 6th victory, an observation balloon over the town of Chaumont. Here, Luke dives past the balloon just as it begins to burn itself open from the inside. His report of the Sept 15 encounter reads, "...saw a light about 500 meters. at first I thought it was an observation machine, but on nearing it, I found it to be a Hun balloon, so I attacked and destroyed it. I was archied with white fire and machine guns were very active."

Hi Russel,

Very EXCELLENT....and Beautiful.
Capturing fire or flames has always fascinated me, different gases = different colors.

Great subject.... Luke and the SPAD!
