Memories of the Jasta

"It is early morning, cold and bright. I'm in the hangar alone and tinkering with my aircraft. I'm getting great joy from doing this. I'm polishing the propeller(of all things), and checking something at the front. I hear wood pigeons cooing nearby. I feel peaceful and calm. There are other planes in the hangar. Mine is on the left near the wall." 

"I am in a two seater plane with Manfred. He is sitting in front. He is turning round to look back at me, and wants to show me something. He is wearing a flying cap and goggles. The sky is red with the most beautiful sunset." 

"I see the landing field covered in water (it has been raining)- It is getting dark and the water reflects against the darkness of the land. I am concerned about this." 

"I'm looking up at some of the guys standing around in a group. We are outside. They are wearing uniform and no coats. They are wearing their caps, and one guy has his on lopsided. He is looking down at me-I am crouched down for some reason and looking up at him.  It is very clear."

"A group of the four or five guys are standing in a group, inside the gate, in front of Roucourt Chateau. Krefft is closest to the gate. He has a tall glass of beer in his hand. It is late afternoon. He looks at me as I approach from outside the gate and he is grinning."
