on 9 October 1918 Lt. A Raymond Brooks led a flight of seven other SPAD XIIIs of the 22nd Aero Squadron. They spotted four German two-place D.F>W. observation planes escorted by nearly a dozen Fokker D-IIs. Brooks led his flight to the attack. In the ensuing battle one of the D.F.W. fell to Brooks guns. Flight member Lt. Clinton Jones downed another, which brought his total to five and made him an ace. State: City: Date: 1900's
