AMERICAS MOST
DARING AIR MAN
All You Have 10 Do is Take a
Chance, Says Niles.
HOW He STARTED FLYING.

Aviator Only Twenty five Years Old
Has Looped the Loop, Flown Upside
Down, Flown Wing Over Wing, Stood
His Machine on It's Head and Then on
Its Tail Without MishaP.
Hampstead, N. Y.-It is never a bad
day for flying, according to Charles f.
Niles, the most reckless aviator in
America today. He has held crowds
spelIbound as he looped the loop and
turned somersaults in midair while
sixty mile an hour gale was blowing.
1T was as easy as rolling off log"
be said simply. "All you have to do
is to go up and take a chance"
Here in one short sentence you have
bis philosophy Of life. And because he
has always been willing to take a
chance do Anything" Niles, or Take
a Chance" Niles, as he is called by his
intimates, is recognized as the most
daring aviator in America.
Although he has been flying less than
eighteen months, Niles has already
topped the loop, flown upside down.

in midair without mishap. Moreover.
he has repeated these surprising feats
no less than four times over Hemp
stead plains. His only serious accident
took place one afternoon when his mo-
tor stopped before he had risen seven
~ feet eff the ground. The result was
a fractured nose and partially wreck
ed machine But his willingness to
take chance" was not injured.
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 ever been seen either in this
country or abroad
Less than two years ago this young
avfator-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 a 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 a
school of aviation announcing that the
art of flying was taught in ten lessons.
Instantly Niles made up his mind to
be an aviator. Within a week he pre-
scented himself at the school and de-
clared his intention of becoming pu-
pill
Then" said Niles, the instructor at
the school explained that it 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 ard that If I
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 l
was -aking circles in the air. And be-
fore l finished the course l was able
to do more stunts and make better
landings than my instructor. In fact,
l was offered position as profess
sional aviator before my tenth lesson"
Niles few months with the com
pany were replete with adventures
One day he decided to go after the en-
durance record He was up In the ak
four hours and thirty-dve minutes
when the crank shaft broke. Fortu.
nately he was nearly 10000 feet above
the city so be was able to glide down
to safety. His special work at the fac.
tory was to try out new planes and
enthusiastically as hazardous an &C.
cupation as the most adventurous per-
son could wish for. But no risks SEEM
ed too great for him.
'If machine looks good to me on
the ground I'm willing to take chance
with it in the air" said Niles as be
prepared for his second fight after
looping the loop I'm afraid of only
sne thing-the collapsing Of my ma
chine while I'm flying"
