Of similar importance, another ace from Prußenmark caused problems to our pilots, when Andreas dealt with the Vert Commandant through a single and swift execution of her engine after a strike from the sun. Yet, miraculously, she crash landed practically unharmed outside a few bruises and a minor sprain over our territory, the propeller, one of the lower wings, and landing wheels were broken off in this landing, and the engine was ruined, so the aircraft was written off. In the same escort mission, Liliane managed to gain her first victory, a Königstein B.II. Something she is quite proud of and excited to tell Adélaïde...Another up and coming pilot is Amelie, who managed to down two aircraft, both Königstein's, and both while they were distracted attacking Blanc aircraft, causing the two pilots she saved to nick name her "L'ange gardien".
Meanwhile, in Palon, Adélaïde has had quite the time with the press, every single newspaper reporting her story of her victories including her striking down of a feared enemy pilot. Some of her statements have been a bit controversial among other aviators and Escadrons, specifically those stating that the Bergen while a solid aircraft, is no better than the Dupont 6 C, along with her stating the same thing she wrote on her Dupont 4 P months ago, "À mauvais ouvrier point de bon outil". Still, despite this the public is quite pleased with her as she looks, acts, and sounds the part of a heroine of myth made reality. And morale and idolization of the air corps has continued to grow with Major Richart Gaumont, a pilot from 15e Escandre "Marins du ciel" having gained some acclaim with five victories achieved.
In other news, a major offensive into the Sāriqīn empire is underway, with the Varuskie empire pushing into their side of the mountainous terrain in the north east while a large naval force of both our own and Pretan forces, bring a majority Pretan landing force, to Chersonipoli in the hopes to knock out the Sāriqīn Empire swiftly and decisively. Further the 1st Vesperia Division has landed in Gallonia just in time to join up with the Pretan Expeditionary Force and the planned major push on Maasburg. And with all the Recon Photos delivered by Blanc, and the boost to Propaganda, our superiors are more than just pleased. We, for the moment, have requisitions comparable to the average Royal Flying Corps Wing. The last noteworthy bit of news is quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but important. In a Daloyaume village near an airfield and a sizable military build up, a man and women, the former a Pretan officer and the latter believed to be a Daloyaume prostitute, were found dead together, clearly murdered. Most disturbing is that their eyes were gouged out and buttons sowed in their place. The odd killing is...concerning to say the least, and rearguard and support military forces behind the main trenchlines are on heightened alert, just in case.
