On the evening of 22 August 1916, Cymera's Roland two-seater was shot down over Maurepas by English ace Albert Ball of 11 Squadron. Crashing into the roof of a house near Vaux, Cymera survived but his observer was killed. After training on single-seat fighters, he was reassigned to Jasta 1 near the end of the year. On 27 December 1916, he witnessed the crew of an F.E.2b shoot down Gustav Leffers and promptly attacked John Quested's two-seater, wounding the observer and forcing it down behind the British lines. The following year, Cymera was killed in action when his aircraft was shot down by the French. |
