Somme Success Quotes

“She was a two-seater and I fired five rounds into her. She burst into flames and fell upside down. Although she dropped like a stone, I saw her observer climb out of his seat and jump clear of the flames. He must have preferred that kind of death to the chance of being roasted.3 Captain Albert Ball, 60 Squadron, RFC”
― Peter Hart, Somme Success: The Royal Flying Corps and the Battle of The Somme 1916
