Air War:
0745 German pilot Julius Schmidt is credited with his first kill, only listed as an "Enemy Aircraft". It is unknown what type of plane Schmidt was flying, or whether he was pilot or observer.

French pilot Georges d'Oisy, flying a Nieuport 11, claims a Fokker eindecker for victory number 2. The claim is awarded despite the fact that the Germans record no losses that day. It has been more than a year since d'Oisy's first victory.
