I think i remember hearing about a single Snipe taking on 60 Folker D IIVs and downing 5 of them before crash landing on his own side of the lines. Can anyone confirm this and give more details?
The pilot involved was William Barker. What is even more remarkable is that he received 3 serious wounds that caused him to pass out during the combat. Here is one of the web sites that list his accomplishments http://www.constable.ca/barker.htm (The details regarding the battle are at the bottom of the web page.)
Barker was a Canadian pilot and was born about 60 miles from my home town.
