On 11th September 1917 Capitaine Georges Guynemer took off in a SPAD XIII from Saint Pol-sur-Mer at 0825 with Sub-Lieutenant Benjamin Bozon-Verduraz. Sergeant Risacher had engine trouble and did not join them. Guynemer was last seen attacking a Rumpler near Poelcapelle while Bozon-Verduraz avoided a number of German planes; Guynemer was later found to have crashed after being shot through the head, but who exactly shot down Guynemer remains a mystery. Originally German ace Leutnant Kurt Wissemann of Jasta 3 was credited with shooting him down but the more likely possibility is that the gunner of the Rumpler, Leutnant der Reserve Max Psaar, flown by Flieger Georg Seibert, scored the fatal hit.
