Quote:

Eduard Schleich, the devil-may-care Bavarian, had a sense of mischeivous humor like the best of the aerial commanders and proceeded to take another flight in a French aircraft. This time it was in a Spad that had German crosses painted upon it. He took off and decided to playfully join up with a French Squardon. He flew with them quite unnoticed until the flight leader figured out that he had too many planes and saw an extra one with the German crosses. Schleich was lucky to escape from this little adventure, but he did not escape the severe reprimand from his superiors.
