Captain Derode scanned the sky to see that the air was clear of homecoming planes, and with a wave of the hand gave the familiar conimand: , “EN ROUTE!” ? “Contact!” shouted’ the mechanic as he prepared to swing} my propeller. I turned on the switch, the La Rhone motor roared, and I was off on my first “mission.” + I circled and climbed for some minutes and when my altimeter | read “2500 macters” looked out, and there was the two-seater a couple of bluecks away. : i Taking up my correct position, above and behind the other fellow, and with a last ford look at my gun, we started off for No Man’s Land.
