Jagd in Flanderns Himmel, Karl Bodenschatz, Verlag Knorr & Hirth München, 1935 p.  57 

From Under the Guns of the Red Baron (N. Franks et al) : “Combat Report: 1430 hrs, near Moevres. Englishman; burnt.”

From Jagd in Flandrens Himmel, Bodenschatz:

“And then the dance of death of the afternoon begins. Five Englishmen are shot down, including the commander’s 63rd aerial victory. His meagre report:

“With Lieutenant v. Richthofen and Lieutenant Gußmann we attacked an enemy single-seater squadron of 10 Englishmen at 2.30 in the afternoon, roughly over the positions. After firing at several Englishmen, I came in close behind a single-seater, which crashed burning in the area of the quarry wood after 100 shots.””
