combinations on the ground, to observe
for range.
He now steers his machine in the form
of figure eight, always turning to-
ward the target, signaling the result In
the manner already described.
The timing of the tuse is then OBJ
served from the same position, and when
this information is obtained and COM
municated to his battery the observer
will fly to a position vertically over the
target and watch the general results of
the fire, reporting his observations from
time to time by flying over the battery
and dropping messages.
The code of signals from aeroplane to
battery is formed of red, white and green
lights in various combinations AS an
instance, one white ligkS signifies 81 am
over the target" and one red and one
green indicate that the range, direction,
or timing of the fuse, according to which
ever is being observed, is correct. The
code of signaling from battery to air
craft is equally interesting; the white
strips of cloth already mentioned are
roughly arranged in the shape of letters,
with their heads to the direction of the
enemy's lines, each Of which conveys Q
different meaning.

wishes to be discovered. The aeroplane
at once rises to the necessary height and
flies out over the battery to find out the
exact position of the enemy's guns.
Meanwhile, two large strips of white
cloth are laid on the ground to indicate
the supposed direction of the enemy.
There are three kinds Of observation
to be carried out by the aeroplane be-
fore the battery can bring its fire to bear
on the exact point desired. These are,
direction or line~of fire, ranging or dis
tance, and calculation as to the point at
which shells should be timed to burst.
To determine the direction of fire the
pilot steers his machine in the form Of
an elongated ellipse, closely watching
the burst of his battery's shells on each
outward journey, and signaling the re-
suit by means of colored lights or by
dropping messages on each return over
the battery.
The course of his fight will always be
on that side of the battery which is
farthest from the sun, in order that his
signals viii be easily seen. The direc-'
tion having been satisfactorily reached
by these methods, the observer receives
a signal from the battery, communicated
by strips of white cloth laid in certain

THAT the close cooperation be-
tween aircraft and artillery Is
- one Of the most remarkable de-
velopments of modern warfare must be
admitted by everyone who has followed
the progress Of the great European con-
fict. Day after day we read of how
flying machines, scouting for the enemy's
positions, have enabled the artillery to
locate batteries and regiments, with the
result that the latter have been dec
imated or forced to retreat by the big
opposing guns.
To the layman It may seem a difficult
matter for an aviator at height of per-
haps 5000 or 1000 feet to COM
municate at once to the artillery any
discoveries he may have made. The
method employed, however, is really
simple when properly understood.
AS soon as the artillery commander
to whose batteries the flying machine is
attached has secured his position, he ex-
