Lieutenant Gerald Featherstone Knight was posted to 12 Squadron near Arras. At 8:15 a.m. on 9 November 1916, he took off in a B.E.2c (2502), part of a formation ordered to bomb the German aerodrome at Douai. Knight's machine lagged behind with a misfiring engine and he was attacked by Jastas 1 and 2. The controls of Knight's B.E.2c were damaged by a Fokker monoplane flown by
Hans Imelmann. Knight was forced to land behind German lines and was captured. He was Imelmann's 5th victory. Knight spent nine months as a prisoner of war, during which he made three escape attempts.
