'Black Flight'

‚Black Flight‘

 

I’ve narrowed down the focus of my next scenario project for Algernon Pulls It Off! to No.10 Squadron, Royal Naval Air Service, or Naval 10 as it was known at the time. This will revolve around ‚B‘ Flight under the leadership of Flight Commander Raymond Collishaw from May to September 1917. This unit was known for painting the cowlings of its Sopwith Triplanes matt black and for the pilots also marking their individual aircraft with a name beginning with ‚Black‘, for example, Black Maria, Black Death, Black Prince and so on. The pilots were all Canadians, which gives the project a distinctive theme, as well as being very experienced in aerial combat, having flown Sopwith Strutters and Pups beforehand. This set of scenarios will be smaller than the Jasta 18 project but there’s plenty of potential for some really good ‚dogfight‘ style games with Albatros DIII’s of Jagdgeschwader I, the infamous  ‚Flying Circus‘ of von Richthofen, definitely making a regular appearance.
