On May 7th 1918, Canadian pilot Alfred Atkey from 22 squadron with observer Charles Gass along with John Gurdon and observer Anthony Thornton were patrolling in their Bristol F2bs. This mission has become known as the 'Two against Twenty', as during their flight the two crews encountered 20 enemy scout craft North East of Arras. During the ensuing melee, Atkey and Gass shot down 5 enemy aircraft, while Gurdon and Thornton destroyed 3 before they managed to return to their base. Do your best to emulate the 22 squadron flyers and account for as many of the Hun as you can.
