Lincoln Beachy has looped the loop
in midair. but flying wing over wing
had never been accomplished success
fully until Niles did It last month. 1t
is the most spectacular flying stunt
that has w been seen either IN this
country or abroad.
Less than two years ago this young
~ayiatOr-he is only twenty-five years
old-was in the automobile business
with his brother in Rochester, n. Y,
his native town. 1t was not n very
exciting life. He was not In the rae
ing game. but simply selling cars and
he looked around for something more
interesting. Then an advertisement
caught his eye-an advertisement for n
school Of aviation announcing that the
art of flying was taught In ten lessons.
Instantly Niles made up his mine to
be an aviator. Within a week he pre-
scented himself ut the school and de
clared his intention Of becoming n pu
pill.
Then" said Niles, 'the instructor at
the school explained that 1t often re
quired more than ten lessons at $40
each to learn how to fly and that the
advertisement was not to be taken too
literally, but | handed him 500. told
him I'd take ten lessons and that If |
could not fly at the end Of that time I'd
bring suit against him for fraudulent
advertising.
But | didn't have to bring a suit OF
any kind against the school" he added,
AT the end Of the seventh lesson |
was making circles In the air. And be
fore l finished the course | vas able
to do more stunts and make better
landings thai my Instructor In fact.
/ was offered a position as n profes
sional aviator before my tenth lesson"
Niles few months with the com
pany were replete with adventures
One day he decided TO 20 after the en-
durance record. He was up In the air
four hours and thirty-hye minutes,
when the crank shaft broke. FOrtu-
uately he was nearly 10000 feet above
the city so he was able 10 glide down
to safety. His special work at the fac
tory was to try out new planes and
engines-certainly as hazardous an oc-
cupatiOn as the most adventurous per
son could wish for. But 40 risks seem
ID too great for him.
III a machine looks good 10 me on
