    Army Lieutenant Bruno Ruzer's record of downings had jumped to 39 aircraft at this time. He was the ace pilot who shot down the most enemy aircraft among the front-line squadron leaders of the entire 1st Fighter Wing. He was also the "Blue"  Max" Medal recipient.  The other squadron commanders of the 1st Fighter Wing were also ace pilots of the Luftwaffe, and they basically shot down more than 20 enemy aircraft.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, G?ring's good subordinate Bruno Luzer finally shot down 45 enemy planes. This number is certainly not comparable to that of the German ace pilots who emerged in World War II, but it is better than the most powerful Allied aircraft in World War II.  A good ace will shoot down 40 enemy planes more than that.

    In Ukraine at the end of July 1918, if the aces of the German 1st Fighter Wing were allowed to fly the SE5 or DH4, then basically the pilots of the Allied Air Force would not have a big chance of winning, but since the bloody four battles in April 1917  After the month, the good days when the Luftwaffe dominated the sky were fading away. No matter the Fokkerdri three-wing fighter, or the Fokkerdvii and Fokkerdviii, they no longer had an advantage in performance.

    At least in terms of speed and climbing performance, the British SE5 and the French Camel are both inferior. The Fokker fighter's weaknesses and shortcomings in speed and engine horsepower are always at a disadvantage to the Allied aircraft. In terms of the absolute number of combat aircraft, Germany is also at a disadvantage.  Always at a disadvantage, of course, dispatching 3 to 4 squadrons at a time to fight in large formations in a large circle similar to a "circus" is a trick that the Germans first used. This is also the specialty of the 1st Fighter Wing, which makes up for it to a certain extent.  It eliminated the shortcomings in aircraft performance of the Luftwaffe after entering 1918.

    The 1st Fighter Wing can obtain the latest model of Fokkerdviii type high-wing single-seat semi-metal skin fighter equipment, which reflects the care and love of the German Air Force command for this glorious wing. Although the Fokkerdviii type is only installed  One, the horsepower is only 82?kw (110?hp).

    But I have to admire the design genius of the Dutch. Although Anthony Hermann Gerald Fokker was only 38 years old, he designed more than 60 Fokker aircraft for Germany. The Fokkerdviii was put into production in early July 1918.  The latest model of fighter. In Wang Geng's previous life, this fighter was first equipped with the 6th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing in July 1918. Of course, Reinhardt, the former 2nd Fighter Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing,  He served as wing commander, and the former squadron commander of the 6th Fighter Squadron fell into the sky before he could see the appearance of Fokkerdviii.

    The 26th Fighter Squadron commanded by Lieutenant Ruzer is one of only three Fokkerdviii fighter squadrons in the wing. The aircraft painting of the entire squadron is no longer the red Baron's signature color a few months ago, but is based on the Hull  At the request of Mann Wilhelm G?ring, the new co-captain, the team was painted white.

    Ace squadron leader Bruno Luzer was full of praise for the Fokkerdviii that his squadron had refitted less than a month ago. The Dutch used semi-metal skin technology for the first time based on limited engine power. This Fokkerdviii top orderer  The wing design makes it lighter in weight. Of course, the control flexibility is not as good as the two biplanes and triplanes, Fokkerdvii and Fokkerdri.

    But the Fokkerdviii has the fastest climb speed. The basic performance and parameters of this freshly released German Air Force ace aircraft are as follows:

    The Fokkerdviii is obviously the latest achievement and model of German aircraft design and manufacturing technology. It can climb to an altitude of 1,000 meters astonishingly in just 2 minutes, and it only takes 10 minutes and 45 seconds to climb to an altitude of 4,000 meters.  Of course, as a fighter jet, the endurance of 1 hour and 30 minutes is a shortcoming, but it is not far behind Allied fighter jets like SE5.

    In contrast, the basic performance parameters of the SE5 fighter designed by the British, the main fighter of the Allied Air Force, are as follows:

    It can be clearly seen that the engine horsepower of the SE5 is nearly 90% higher than that of the Fokker aircraft, but the weight of the SE5 aircraft is also 234 kg heavier than the Fokkerdviii. Even as a single-seat fighter, the Fokkerdviii can be said to be as lightweight as  Yan.

    Of course, compared to the two-seater fighter-bomber of the coalition DH4, the FokkerDviii has a greater advantage in combat, although it is not as fast as level flight.Far worse than coming.  But climbing, turning and going in circles is a lot harder.

    Lieutenant Bruno Ruzer was not as reckless a pilot as he appeared. He persuaded Wing Commander G?ring to conduct a nighttime cross-border flight to explore the reality of Belgorod's reconnaissance mission. The combat plan he drew up  But it is quite safe. Hermann Wilhelm G?ring's appointment as the third commander of the 1st Fighter Wing is inseparable from the excellent performance of the entire squadron when he led the 26th Fighter Squadron.

    Although Bruno's 26th Fighter Squadron only sent 4 aircraft of the 1st Squadron for cross-border reconnaissance flights, squadron leader Bruno led 4 Fokkerdviii fighter jets of the 2nd Squadron to escort along the Ukrainian border at an altitude of 4,500 meters.  Five kilometers away from the south side of his second team, at an altitude of 5,000 meters, were four aircraft of the wing under the personal command of German 1st Fighter Wing Captain Hermann Wilhelm G?ring, plus the 1st Fighter Wing.  The 3rd and 4th squadrons of the 26th Fighter Squadron have a total of 12 latest model Fokkerdviii fighters.

    This is a big net laid by the ace 26th Squadron of the German 1st Fighter Wing led by Goering and Luzer. Hermann Wilhelm Goering wants to take a preemptive strike and use a squadron of forkkerdviii fighters to perform a circus.  Group trapping battle!  The target is the night patrol team of the Allied Air Force on the Volga Federation border.
