A Sopwith Camel pilot is on patrol in France when he sees a Fokker Dr I triplane at his 10 o-clock.  He maneuvers in behind and above him, without alerting the enemy to his presence.  Anxious to get this kill, he dives down and quickly fires an innacurate burst.  The experienced fokker pilot rolls left to evade and the flustered ally banks to follow.  Suddenly the pilot realizes that an airship is directly in front of him.  The triplane has already dived below the blimp when the decision is made to go above.










...

On the other side the fokker pulls up and throttles down causing the camel to blow by.  The German ace simply lines up his cross hair and takes the camel down as a hunk of fiery remains.

Great shot and story, and I hate to nit pick, but the Axis was in WWII, not WWI.
