NE of the most consistent com- dinations of pilot and good fellow was to be found in Phil Prothero, He was a dare- devil Gcotchman. He was wild; that is to say, he would do anything in the world. “Pizz," as we calied him, flew a little scouting machine and spent the greater part of the time keeping the guns and sights on his machine in order. He had brought down four Germans, but of late he had had a streak of bad luck. He would get up at three in the morning, go down to ‘drome and have his machine pulled out of the hangar by the sleepy mechanics, Then he would pile into his flying clothes, get up about fifty feet from the ground and come rushing over the camp, waking the rest of us up on his way to the lines in search of a German who might be doing an early patrol, But he never got his chance until’ he had lost many a good morning's sleep. One morning, after he had been do- ing this sort of thing for about two weeks, he happened to be a few miles behind the enemy lines and was flying low, since the ground mist made it hard to see from a great ib Piz” was satting along when he was suddenly surprised by the ra tat-tat of the machine gun of a ¢ man who had settled on his tail. sized the situation up in a flash, looped over the enemy and fired about ten shots, when his well petted gun jammed, “Pigs” simply went wild and had to drop out of the fight. There was nothing to do, but return home for repairs. He landed and had the jam recti- fied by the gunsmith of the squadron and away he went again to the lines, looking for his German. But the German was no longer Joft, so “Pizs” went over to a Gerinan ‘drome and there he found one who was just getting up into the air, He "Pizz™ let him get up a ways, then fell upon him lke a huwk, bringing him down on his own ‘drome. “Pixa” went very low over the German han- gars and fired the rest of his amrauni- tion at the frightened men, who ran all over the place looking for cover, After putting the fear of the Lord into the Germans at the aerodroine, “Pizz" started for home, climbing ali the time to cross the lines at @ good height. But the Archies got a line on him and started to explode high explosive sbrapnel all around him. Just as he was crossing the lines homeward bound, a “woolly bear” burst right near him, knocking his en- Sine out of the maching The ma- chine was completely unbalanced by this and now uncontrollable, but “Piza” kept his head and got ready for the crash, It came all night, aud poor old “Pizz” was pretty badly damaged, baving four ribs broken, his face cut and bruised, in addition to sustaining several internal in- juries, He went to the hospital for a while, but soon recovered. He was sent to a famous fighting squadron and there he was just as wild as ever, He went up one day, and while on patrol tackled the Red German, 80 called because his machine Was painted rod. They fought for twenty-five minutes and finally poor old “Pizz" was shot down. ‘Another scout came along and soon the German was engaged im afother battle. He was a good pilot and showed it by the w he played for position, darting hither and thither, but the Allied airman proved too much for him, and before long the German came down in a_ spinning nose dive and on fire. He descended so fast that one could hear the ma- chine whistle as it came hurtling through space, then the sound of crashing wood and rending of fabric. And in two minutes nothing was left put a small heap of burning wreck- age. T was summoned to appear before the commanding officer one day. He needed a gunner for a pilot who was going to take photographs I {elt less ever done, but I went nevertheless— I went because I had no choice, of course. It happened to be a clear day tn May. We got to the German lines, and they were waiting for us it weomed. As soon as we stuck our noses over their lines they started to shell us for all they were worth. 1 had never seen such shelling of an aeroplane before, and I confess that 1 was thoroughly frightened—almost frantic. The pilot was intent upon making good photographs, and he had to stay within the 7,000 feet al- titude in order to get them. There being no German plane up, I had little to do. I was kneeling ‘in . my seat and looking for Germans, but not a one came, nor was there any reason why they should in all m that “Archie” exhibition. The chances wore very good that tho anti-aircraft batteries would get us down without some Heinie having to take the risk. We circled and circled over the Ger- man lines until Hyutt had taken 56 photos, as fine a collection of the enemy's first, second and third lines as had ever been made. When Hyatt had done that he had ¢ to prolong the agony by photograph- ing the Germans’ reserve positions; not that he wanted to, for he was as frightened as I was. After that wo concluded that we might just as wot fly back home. Well, when we counted the holes tn our planes in the acrodrome we discovered that ninety-six holes, pf various sizes, made by high explo- sive shrapnel, had robbed our planes of much of their carrying capacity. A few more and the old bus would have settled down no matter how much speed the motor might kick up. was interested in which some of the shrapnel taken and discovered that many them had come too close for solid comfort. One of them, for instance, must have missed 7 ankles by the Veriest fraction of an inch, Another one hud gone through the plane near the pilot. and accounted for a slit nine inches long in Hyatt's leather coat. I must make another remark abo the holes in our planes? They wi not small by any means. One of t was large enough for a cat to be thrown through. I guess that a whole shrapnel case must have gone through the plane, Shrapnel holes tn the planes and the smaller perfora- tions left by machine gun bullets had ceased’ ts be of any consequence to the boys, however. When I first entered the atr service men still counted such things, and on the werodromes they used to estab- lish records based on the number of holes in a machine. But that got to be an old joke. The only performance which cotinted at this time was to come burtling through the air for several thousand feet, land on the nose of the machine, and then get from under the wreck with enough Ife left in you to make patching up worth while. If that could be done from ten to fifteen thousand fect, well and good, and if en route the gasoline tank took fire, good-night. Nothing short of that could get a around the aerodromes, We used to have considerable fun with the captive balloons of the Ger- mans. The purpose of our attacks on them was to set them on fire, for nothing short of that could ever hurt them unless you shot them full of machine gun bullets, These captive valloons went up rather high, so our machines had a fair chance if they could surprise them, The bombs we used to drop on the captive balloons were of a deadly nature not only in that the phos- phorus they contained would ignite the gas, but in addition to that they were deadly if dropped on the men in the trenches, as they produced in- curable burns, and the fumes were horrible to breathe, as they con- tained a sort of gas. Old Randie, one of our pilots, was sent over one day to get @ German sausage. He went up three times before he finally got it ‘This particular sausage had had a great deal of our attention. came up twice in the same place, but moved up or down thé road 4 hun- dred yards before it ascended. Gen- ally, it was from iniles behind the lines. We all wondered what this Ger- man was up to, and Kandic was sent up to find out With his load of bombs aboard he started up.

K's one ambition was to touch the wheels of his under carriage on the ground somewhere be- bind the German Hines Generally when @ man does things that are forbidden something hap- pens, Fate seems to punish one for the things that are foothardy. And if fate had punished K on this special three occasion I might mot be here to tell the tale, But fortunately fate waited until our return to the aerodrome, We were up on an early morning patrol, having started at dawn, and there was no action behind the Ger~ man lines, as was usually the case at that hour ia the morning. The sun was just starting to show itself over the hornzon and with it caine the promise of @ fine day, which meant lots of work. 1 was busy looking for a battery of German guns which had been re ported active the night before, when the enemy aircraft batteries opened fire on us, The explosion of the shells came go thick and heavy that our machine was tossed around by the concussion as if it were a cigar- elle paper, K shut off his powe and 1 kept watch to find the batteries that were doing the shooting. | found one on the way down, but [ son lost all eagerness to put it out of action, for K made no attempt at getting buck to our lines, I looked over to make sure he was not wounded, and, ay the engine still turned, I wondered what was hap- pening. We went down behind the German lines until we were just over the tree tops. K then opened the throttle and the engine responded all right, but he closed it again, and I can't de- scribe the strange sensation I had, L swallowed my heart, and made up my mind that I was to be a prisoner for the duration of the war, That thought was not pleasant, es- peoially after hearing the hair-rals- ing tales which were told of the way our prisoners were being treated by the Germans, I shouted to K that the engine was all right, but he merély looked at me, I put @ drum of ammunition on my Lewis gun, for T bad made up my mind to kill him tf be were 4 spy, and then £ would make the uftcmpt to Ay tue machine back myself, We glided gently down and) touched the ground. Over the field I) saw three German soldiers racing to} capture us. Just then K pullod open the throttle and away we went up in the air once more, My neryes quiv- ered with joy, and I took aim at our would-be captors and let the bullets fly in a stream. But the alr currents near the ground were so erratic that I did not hit them. We headed for home, As we crossed our own lines I heaved @ sigh of relief. K looked at me and smiled. He bad realized his ambition to touch the ground behind the rman lines, but he had also given me the scare of my life, for I did not know what he was about. K swore me to secrecy as it meant an awful “strafing” if the squadron commander ever heard of his exploit. I kept my word until poor K had touched the ground behind the Ger- man lines for the last time. The commanding officer and I met in England one day and I told him all about it. I could see that he was thinking very hard. They have some beautiful eummer days in France, especially in June and July, the months in which the Somme offensive began in 1916.
