Battle of Cambrai - Tank vs Airplane

He everyone,

I came across an interesting German term while reading a book on the battle of Cambrai. The battle began on November 20, 1917, and it was the first battle in which the British used tanks on a large scale. The term 'tankschlacht', which literally means tank battle, was used to describe missions flown by German airmen. The problem is, there is no further information to help describe these actions. Does anyone know if the German Air Service flew organized and sustained missions against these mechanized giants, or were these combats sporadic at best? Any clues will be helpful.

Regards
