Starlight Posted 26 February , 2007 Share Posted 26 February , 2007 Hi Tim, Just a little bit of info for you. Henshaw's TSTB states on the 8th June 1917 that Captain W I Bailey, whilst on an offensive dawn patrol at 3:05 am in his FE8 - number 6445 - was forced to land in the Ypres salient. His aircraft was shelled and destroyed. He was wounded in the action. I cannot find any evidence that he claimed any victories. Number 41 squadron was at that time flying from Hoondschoote but would within a week return to Abeele where it had been based before it moved to Hoondscoote on 24th May.
