approx. a disorderly fall "out of control" is hit, when the aircraft was shot down, but he wasn't spotted its impact due to the cloud cover and the verification of the kill, when the pilots they flew closer to the earth was perceived as a very dangerous gamble, a few pilots for verification of the kill slétnutím into the lower flight levels have suffered the consequences of life, the problem with this sestřelem is that the germans fall often pretended (to ourselves have introduced into e.g. a flat spin) and the above countries have coped - such as Billy Bishop in his first air battle, he shot down the plane, and he limply rolled to the ground, the friends he had before said, that the germans your the fall often pretend and so he was chasing him up above the ground, where the German's machine tied the score, and he him again, this time sure shot destroyed "destroyed" is hit, when it was either a spotted impact, the plane disintegrated in mid-air destroyed in fire "destroyed in flames" is hit, when the aircraft was set on fire en.wikipedia.org https://www.valka.cz/topic/view/9120#25891.

Leonard Rochford in the documentary History of Aviation (2019), where on footage from 60./70. For years, he and other aces from America, France, Britain and Germany talk about aviation in World War I. In the interview he says this: " We were very passionate and we wanted to do a good job, you know? It was our duty ... so we set out and did it. Of course we wanted to shoot down as many of them as possible. I always felt like I gave goal in football ... or scored in Rugby ... It may sound funny, but that's how it was. We were young ... we didn't think much about it, so it was just set. " Later on the meeting with the Red Baron over Somma: Rochford: " It always seemed to me that he was choosing his enemy somehow. Most of the planes he shot down were ... very slow. " Man behind the camera: " Do you think it was unfair?" Rochford: " No, it wasn't unfair at all no, it was so right." The man behind the camera: " What do you mean, he chose?" Rochford: " He chose ... slow planes that patrolled ... that searched for artillery. He could have chosen them because they were slow. "
