Top observer Rieper under fire

Hi,

I am just curios who did destroy Rieper´s balloon on 3rd June 1918 and tried to kill Rieper if he was hanging in his parachute?

I see two French claims for balloons in TFASWC 1914-1918:
MdL Cardon, Spa 81, Aisne, 4th victory
MdL Poisson, Spa 83, East Chaudun, 0850, 1st victory

Any idea who is more likely to be the attacker?

Hallo, Rammjäger.

According to my researches, it was MdL Cardon, Spa 81, who destroyed Rieper's balloon on this date.
