A Live Game of Wings of Glory WWI
Aces of the German Empire - Lothar Von Richthofen
Act 3 Mission 2
One Sky, Two Legends!
7 May 1917, Evening Patrol
Lens - Loos - Annœullin - North of Douai
There are victories that become legends.There are deaths that become mysteries.On one evening in May 1917, both happened together!
For nearly three months both Legends have marched toward this single evening.
For Lothar von Richthofen, every patrol has reinforced the lessons taught by his brother and by Jagdstaffel 11, discipline, formation flying, patience, and teamwork. Nineteen confirmed victories have transformed the young cavalry officer into one of Germany's deadliest fighter leaders. With Manfred absent, command of Jasta 11 rests upon his shoulders.
For Albert Ball, every mission has reaffirmed something entirely different. Ball remains Britain's greatest individual hunter. He trusts instinct over doctrine. He attacks when others hesitate. He pursues opportunities that no formation leader would ever authorize. Both philosophies have produced extraordinary success. Tonight they finally meet.
Neither pilot knows the other's name, but history does.
The Battle of Arras continues to rage.
British reconnaissance aircraft press on, photographing German artillery positions around Lens while artillery observers direct increasingly accurate counter-battery fire. German fighters have been ordered to drive every British machine away from the front. No. 56 Squadron has received equally aggressive orders: cross the lines, seek combat, and destroy German fighters wherever they are found.
Neither patrol realizes that the worsening weather is about to become the most dangerous opponent either side will face. Towering cumulus clouds rise over the battlefield as heavy rain sweeps beneath them. Visibility shifts from minute to minute, and entire formations vanish into the gathering storm.
