[Prometheus]

I read this thread and it is good.

In addition to all mentioned and all to be mentioned I want to add this few links if someone want to learn something more about Serbia in The Great War.

Dr. Archibald Reiss. Search about his work on the internet there is much to learn about conflicts in Balkans during The Great War.
http://velikirat.com/en/dr-archibald-reiss/

Serbian documentary film with English subtitles which follows Serbia during The Great War. From this documentary many things can be learned about Solunica front and much more.


For you Sailor Steve this will be interesting. I read that you like aviation of The Great War.

September 24, 1916

Air War:
German Jasta 1 moves from Bertincourt to Bertigny, starts operations and scores two kills the same day.

0110 English RFC pilot Frederick Sowrey, flying BE.2c 4112, shoots down Zeppelin L32 for victory number 1.

1635 English observer Frank Johnson, riding with 2nd Lt A. Cropper in FE.2b 4924, shoots down a Halberstadt fighter for victory number 1.

1700 Scottish RFC pilot John Gilmour, in Martinsyde G.100 7284, shoots down a Fokker eindecker for victory number 2.

1705 English pilot Kenneth Gopsill and observer F.W.A. Vickery, in FE.2b 6964, shoot down an unidentified German fighter for victory number 2.

1810 German pilot Albert Dossenbach and observer Hans Schilling, in an Albatros C.III, shoot down an attacking BE.12. 2nd Lt George Edwards is killed when he jumps from his burning plane. Victory number 6 for Dossenbach, number 5 for Schilling.

German ace Kurt Wintgens claims two BE.12s for victories number 18 and 19. There is some discrepancy, since only two BE.12s were lost this day and Dossenbach and Schilling's was one of them. On the other hand 2nd Lt E.N. Wingfield, in a Martinsyde G.100, reported being shot down this day by a "Fokker". This was probably Wintgens' second kill for the day. As a side-note, Norman Franks points out in Sharks Among Minnows that Wingfield probably wouldn't have been aware that there were now Fokker biplanes, so he almost certainly was referring to an eindecker, which means that Wintgens, despite the availability of newer aircraft, seems to have still been flying his old E.IV, perhaps because of the twin guns.
