Jasta 11’s Lt. Kurt Wolff’s second official victory: F.E.8 6456 40 Sqn, 9th March 1917 (by drakegoodman)

F.E.8 6456 of 40 Squadron RFC became Lt. Kurt Wolff’s second official victory on the 9th of March 1917, when he forced the aircraft down near Annay in the Pas-de-Calais Department of Northern France. The pilot, 2Lt. Shepard was taken POW.

It must have appeared to the locals as if it were raining F.E.8s on the 9th of March 1917, as the Albatros fighters of Manfred von Richthofen’s Jagdstaffel 11 tore through an offensive patrol from 40 Squadron RFC, shooting down or badly damaging six enemy aircraft in as many minutes.

Kurt Wolff (February 6, 1895 – September 15, 1917) would later go on to be promoted to Oberleutnant and become one Germany’s highest scoring aces during World War I. After achieving 33 confirmed victories, he was killed in action at the age of 22.

The Supermarine Stranraer was a 1930s British flying boat designed and built by Supermarine Aviation Works which marked the end of biplane flying-boat development for the Royal Air Force.

They entered operations in 1937 and many were still in service at the outbreak of the Second World War undertaking anti-submarine and convoy escort patrols. They were withdrawn from operational service in March 1941 but continued to serve in a training capacity until October 1942.
