On the 23rd of September 1917, Leutnant Werner Voss took on some of the best pilots in the RFC in an epic dogfight that has been remembered as the defining aerial action of the First World War. Voss shocked all the British pilots with his expert flying ability, leaving them all with some bullet holes in their S.E.5as. After McCudden and Voss make a series of head on passes, Voss is fatally wounded by Hoidge and Rhys-Davids and crashes near Frezenberg, Beglium at only 20 years old.
