Col. de Goys during the war commanded several flying units comprising 150 American crews.\ “The American boys,” he sald, “have rendered a service to the world in general and to aviation in particular by their plucky enterprise. They have not only shown what pluck can do, but they have dem- onstrated the practicabllity of round- the-world flying. [ now consider their tour assured of succes “I am well enough acquainted with the American character not to have doubted their success for an instant,” continued the colonel, who had just received a visit from the American fiying party, “but one never knows what obstacles are ahead when fying over new and difficult territory, such as they had to do with. They have blazed a trall which, with such rectifications as thelr experience will suggest, will serve world ayiation. Col. de Goys added he was proud to hail Lieut.
