text_original: Suddenly a great sheet of flame seemed to leap from the German machine and a puff of black smoke : it staggered like a shot bird and then, without warning, it fell — a streak of light, like some giant shooting star rushing to the earth. The Maxim stopped firing, and after circling round a couple of times the British machine buzzed contentedly back to bed.
