Hans Schmidt had not been entirely surprised when the ornithopter failed to follow him. Rather than land, he continued his turn until the girls were in view.

Sure enough they were heading into the town but they had not accelerated; in fact they were slowing still. He opened up his engine and his plane shot towards them. His diesel engine was considerably more responsive than their steam contraption, and he did not require a stoker.

He tilted the plane into a sharp turn that lost him altitude. The pilot of the other plane did not know the artillery were under orders to shoot down any unidentified air-plane.

He was certain the girls did not intend to attack but there was no way the gunners could know that. So he poured on the power as the girls entered the artillery attack field.

A cloud of smoke plumed from a gun on the ground. He stared at the ornithopter and sighed in relief when it did not explode. Travelling fast it took him only moments to reach them.

He powered back so as not to overshoot and positioned himself behind them but above and slightly to their starboard.

No other guns fired.

The ornithopter continued to slow over the town until it was below his stall speed and he overshot it. Pulling round he saw it disappearing into the forecourt of the administration building, wings stroking hard as it did so. He smiled. That was one thing he could not do, and it was a beautiful thing to witness.
