Mitchell. who was formerly in command of all American air forces in France, was on his way to Washington from Langley Field, when he encoun- tered the electrical storm which bat- tered down the ambulance plane. While he had faced danger in many forms on | the western front, Gen. Mitchell said had never felt closer to death than Sat-| urday evening, when the single seater ! pursit plane in which he was retura- ing to Washington was twisted out of | control and tossed at the mercy of the | storm more than 1000 feet above the | earth.

Choice of Three Routes. “It was apparent that we had our choice of three alternativés.

The | last alternative was to turn and run away from the storm and try to go | around it or between two storm areas That I decided to do.
