Albert Ball SE5 Original Painting by Graham Turner GAvA The SE5 Proves its Worth Ref: GT-33B

Captain Albert Ball engages an Albatros CIII north of Cambrai on 23rd April 1917.

After 56 Squadron had been equipped with the new SE5 single seaters, Ball still preferred to use his Nieuport on lone patrols, but when this was damaged in an early morning encounter on 23rd April, he took up SE5 A4850 and soon ran into a flight of Albatros scouts, downing one. As he returned to his airfield he encountered a lone Albatros CIII observation plane from Fliegerabteilung 7, fired 40 rounds into it, wounding the observer, and forcing the crippled German plane to the ground.
