Description The Fighting Triplanes "Long-range, high-velocity shells had been scraping the roofs in Arras, and the enemy's aircraft, probably reinforced from the Eastern Front, were for the first time dropping bombs within the area of the battle. But they were soon chased back, and our fighting triplanes never more audaciously challenged the battle." Flight, 31 May 1917 Source: Publisher's summary printed on the cover
