To those who have witnessed this “4ncreased aerial activity” such an an- nouncement conjures up at once a picture of cquntless aeroplanes in the alr—acouting, fighting, diving, spin- ning, hovering over enemy targets and calmly sending wireless signals -threugh the fountains of enemy fire, photographing the.enemy lines, bomb- tng his ammunition dumps and sheds and supply columns, and otherwise “carrying on” in the sky in a man- ner wholly bewildering to the on- lopker but typifying in supreme de- gree the indispensible part aviation is plgying in this war. With a candor often uncommon in times of strife, the 3British com- munique may end from day to day *with the simple statement that one or two or three or four “of our machines have nat returned.” This means they have either been hit and forced to 1gnd in the enemy limes, or have been shot down to a fate more certain.

In the agsregate, however, the | losses in the flying corps are as noth- | ing compared with the useful and vital work the ‘“wings” accomplish. Without them the big guns would have no far-seeing eyes to correct their shells. Without them and the hundreds of photographs they daily take the mapmakers could not trace each detail .of the trench positions Without them the general staff could not accurately know just what is go- ing on by day and night behind the enemy lines. Without them modern war would loss its most fascinating phase. The “good flying” of a single day on the British front alone may represent a day of a hundred fights, a day of | into it at fifteen yards. | twelve German four score aeroplanes in wing-to-wing combat—a day of a thousand per- sonal incidents and deeds of daring in the once strange strata of high thin air. It might tell, Lieutenant A in machine, for instance, of how a fast-flying scout | encountered a squadron of Rolands. The odds enough, but the young Britisher decided to take a chance. He climbed swiftly and sure- 1y until he got far above and to the rear of the hostile craft. Ividently the Germans were intent upon some errand which they proposed to carry out in force, for they paid no heed to the khaki-clad airman until he de- liberatly dived into them firing as he came. This threw the twelve Germa into a panic and their formation was entirely broken up. Meantime Licut. A got beneath the nearest machine and fired an entire drum of cartridges The hostile | were one-sided ! coming up in formation. machine collapsed and ‘crashed.” That is a supreme word in the lexicon of the flying corps. A machine may fall, or dive, but until it is actually seen to “crash” it is not counted as an enemy ‘‘casualty.” After seeing his particular enemy “crash” Lieut. A drew off to think things over. He was somewhat amazed to see still more hostile machines But he dashed at the leader of the newcom- ers and sent him in a spiral nose dive to a ‘“‘crash.” This led to still more complications and the intrepid little pilot soon found himself engaged with three machines. His fight with these indecisive. says the official record, “hav- pended all his ammunition, Lieut. A set off for home.” A fow 's later, it is related, he took a running dive into a formation of twenty hostile machines with all the self assurance an eagle might have to persist in the records of the ser- vice. One day he was crossing the enemy lines at 11,600 feet when he found himself directly above a Ger- | man kite baloon, sent up for artillery observation, Pretending to be in trouble, and thus avoiding fire from the anti-aircraft guns, he fell in side- stalls to 1,600 feet, suddenly righted himself and dived at the balloon. He | opened and continued firing until he almost touched the big gas bag. Just as he passed over it, the thing burst into flames and was destroyed in a few seconds. The Germans lately adopted the ruse of “stalling” and shamming a fall out of control. It is a thrilling, but not uncommon thing to see a German machine, when closely pressed, turn its tail straight up in the air and dive toward the earch‘ for a distance of two or three thou- sand feet, and just as the unitiated onlooker would expect a ‘crash” it flattens out and starts pell-mell for its own lines. Ona does not always get away with this bit of aerial strate- gy, however, as is shown by the record of Capt. B. After attacking three hostile machines, he saw one of them going down in a spinning nose dive. He suspected the honeaty of that dive and decided to do a little diving “of his own.” This dramatic downward duel continued for full five thousand feet, until the German was driven into & spin “and-seen to crash.” RobbinsBros., Inc. 310 Pearl St. Hartford Conn. 10 Per Cent. to 50 Per Cent.
