Arctic Ocean, Canadian Yukon.
Darjeeling was back in the air. She was part of an escort of 30 Vickers vimy and 20 handley page bombers.
She had a score to settle.
This time, Roy Brown had also joined the party. Sopwith camels flew along side the S.E.5as.
Ahead lay the German fleet, and their aerial fighters.
She saw the lead element of her flight, Bishop himself bank right and pulled up.
Above, Jasta 11 lead the dive down to face the attackers.
Jasta 11 had three fighter aces, Ernst Udet, Ricthofen himself and his brother.
Darjeeling flew straight at an albatross and squeezed the trigger. They passed and banked to meet each other again.
She fired and the albatross burst aflame. Kill four.
The dog fight thinned out as anti air fire fired, downing friend and foe.
Jasta 11 immediately shot down 10 bombers, but some dropped their payload. A dreadnought caught fire. A merchant ship began to capsize.
RATATATATATATATATATAT the Bomber gunners fired in vain, the Baron squeezed the trigger, it crashed into the sea.
Darjeeling spotted the red triplane and opened fire once more.
The baron wheeled over to her six.
She counted her options. She couldn't out turn him as the triplane was more maneuverable, but the S.E.5a was faster. She gunned the engine.
The triplane could turn tight, but it was inaccurate and unstable.
Darjeeling pulled up, tracers raked her elevator, the G force nearly made her blackout.
She did a loop and got on the Baron's rear, forcing him to do the same.
Then she looked behind. Roy Brown was chasing the baron as his brother chased Brown. Behind Lothar von Ricthofen, was Bishop, behind Bishop was Ernst Udet.
Darjeeling pulled up chasing Udet, causing the Baron to do the same and so forth.
The pilots were forced to break away form the constant G force.
She regained her vision as blood returned to her eyes. The baron pulled up behind.
She gunned the throttle, but she had a different idea.
She pulled up, the baron gave chase. Her plane began to stall. The Baron laughed and fired, scoring hits on her, but not for long.
The S.E.5a was faster and sleeker, allowing it to fight gravity longer.
The Baron turned over and his triplane lost control and spun.
Darjeeling wheeled over and dived, guns ablaze.
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK.
The Baron's wings tore off from Darjeeling's gunfire. She reloaded and fired once more.
The fokker dr1 began to smoke and burn.
As the baron leveled out in a steady dive, Darjeeling pulled up beside him.
The baron looked over and gave a thumbs up as a congratulation.
Darjeeling pulled up as his plane hit the water.
Her fifth kill. She was now a fighter ace.
She returned to base, Bishop saw her kill.
Darjeeling climbed out of her battered plane.
"Darjeeling sama! You've shot down the Red baron!" Pekoe ecstatically spoke.
"Three cheers to Darjeeling!", James raised a mug.
Dupont scavenged two syringes of his discovery. He packaged them and sent it to Algiers.
You see, he found a way to achieve immortality, or close enough.
