Chapter 13: The Star Lineup (Revision)
Just as the Entente pilots were scrambling into the air, under the same cloudy sky, Osvaldo. Lieutenant Polk and his safari squad had been waiting for them for a long time.
If history is taken as a standard, then his safari team can be regarded as an all-star lineup.
This includes his partner Inmaiman, who created the "Inmaiman Flip" of the world's civilization, the future Red Baron Richthofen.
Of course, any of the pilots in the following list of names caused a major headache on the part of the Allies. The future Air Marshal of the Greater German Reich Goering, and the future Luftwaffe Director of Weapons Production for Nazi Germany, Ernst Bush. Udet.
He is also one of the biggest names in the history of flying, if Tang Yunyang knew that among the opponents he faced, there were these "heroes" I don't know if he would be afraid!

The best hunters in particular were all equipped with the Luftwaffe's newest model, the Albatross D, which was very popular with German pilots for its relatively fast and sturdy body.
The marching pilots who had been defeated were so uplifted that they were as eager as the Allied pilots to be disgraced.
Herman. Goering piloting his own albatross. The engine horsepower of the D-type aircraft is of course very strong, but the heavier but hard-shell fuselage also somewhat offsets some of its advantages, but the firepower of the two machine guns is better than that of Fokker. E is stronger and more than a little.
From his cockpit, in the middle of the clouds hanging low, teammates flickering.
The neat formation of German aircraft, whether in a two-plane formation or a large fleet, the protective formation called the "air circus", is an example of the Luftwaffe's more advanced research on air tactics than the Entente.
Small and nimble Albatross D fighters and Fokker EIII fighters protected airships and bombers on their way to attack Verdun's fortified area from all sides.
Looking at the heyday of the Luftwaffe, Hermann. Göring's heart swelled with infinite pride. At the same time, I couldn't help but remember that I had just met Mike before I came. Lang's scene reminded me of his admonition at the same time.
Thinking back to Mike. Lang's words made Goering shake his head.
He doesn't understand Mike. Lang, as a Teutonic knight, it was a shame to hide from the enemy. His eyes were fixed on the gray sky in front of him, and a confident smile was raised on his face.
"Or maybe I'll get a good look at this guy and see what kind of guy he is!"
A bloody battle in the sky over Verdon is about to inevitably occur as the planes of both sides are approaching. As Tang Yunyang's first battle in the Lafitte team, this battle is of great significance to him.
Eventually, two powerful armies of Germany and the Entente met in the way the Entente expected.
In order to maintain a favorable altitude for both sides, both sides try to fly close to the clouds. At this time, the aircraft has no other effective formation control means except gestures, and once it flies into the clouds, it is very likely to cause an accident or deviate from the direction.
In a way, today's fight was a relatively fair one.
Neither side can take advantage of the sun and the height to gain more advantages. Pilots of German bombers and airships were able to climb high and hide in the clouds if they were attacked by ground or enemy aircraft.
If the German side had a large number of future or current top pilots participating in the operation, then the Entente side also sent a large number of excellent pilots.
On the French side, Felix is a gathering of top pilots. The 3rd "Flying Crane Squadron" commanded by Captain Pocharde, which included George Brown. Güneme and other excellent French pilots.
It is foreseeable that today's air battle will be a brutal and dazzling show.
Due to the size of the German airships and bombers, they were quickly spotted by the Allied pilots who had come to intercept them, and approached to start the attack.
The German pilots who escorted the escort also immediately discovered the plans of the Allied pilots and rushed to protect their airships and bombers.
Osvaldo. Lieutenant Polk gestured to his caracal squad for their attention, because as far as his eyes could see, the French Air Force's most elite "Stork Squadron", as the elite hunting squad of the German flying team, their target was naturally these guys.
At the same time, the buzzing "big guys" - bombers and airships - are also starting to climb higher and disappear into the clouds, although this may cause them to miss the target or deviate from the direction, but it is better than being shot down.
Tang Yunyang drove his Newburgh 11 and followed closely behind Frank. Behind Luke. He was flanked by four other extensions in the squad, each piloted by four friends.
At this time, as the leader of the attack on enemy bombers and airships, the squadron leader of the Lafitte team, Commander Rheu. Luberry gestured to the bombers and airships that were flying into the clouds. The 36 planes in the Lafitte team's fleet began to climb higher.
Amid the screeching sound of the engine's acceleration, the cold and humidity even condensed into a faint layer of mist.
Tang Yunyang knew that at this time, the plane of the Lafitte team had entered the clouds. The clouds are not as deep as they are on the ground, just as they are as constant as they are in the clouds.
His ears were filled with the screeching of the wind as it swept by at high speed, and the cold, damp air, bypassing the windshield and hitting his mouth and nose, made him feel like he couldn't breathe, and wanted to turn around and look for a moment to breathe.
As one of the Allied powers, the Lafitte squad, which was often despised because the United States did not enter the war, was tasked with attacking enemy bombers and airships. Of course, this can lead to a good record, but it is clearly not what these enthusiastic pilots are after.
Like the French "Flying Stork Squadron", as fighter pilots, they aspire to engage in a battle of wits and courage in the air with German fighters in the blue sky.
As the German and Allied aircraft fleets approached, the planes of both sides collided head-on like two floods. The planes that began to pursue and were pursued were like splashes of water, and flew away in all directions.
The "dogfight battlefield" in World War I unfolded again, and in the sound of screaming engines, the neat formation was instantly shattered, and planes flew out in all directions. They embody their military demeanor in chasing, or being chased.
Iron and blood, loyalty and glory were like shining rains of bullets flying everywhere, intertwined in the cloudy sky. Almost instantly, smoke and fire were smeared into a strange picture in the iron-blooded sky.
