It is though classed as 'unrecognised' with Wintgens having to wait until July 15th to manage his first 'recognised' kill, again against a Morane-Saulnier.

Thanks Gilly. I thinks it's important to honor the fallen as well as the victorious when we remember dates like this.
2 events that stick in my mind are the bombing of Dresden on Feb 14, and the burning of Tokyo on Mar 10, 1945. Dates when countless thousands of civillians paid the ultimate price for blindly following their so-called "leadership".
