"A THRILLING
FIGHT IN THE AIR

LONDON. March 15.-In letter to
his wife an officer of the British Royal
Corps describes one of his trips as
follows:
More than twenty miles are GOV.
cred without unusual incident. Below
there is no sign OF war or the pres.
ence of an enemy. Nothing but com.
plete familiarity with the landscape
features could ascertain the presence
of the carefully disguised transport
and traffic.
The German has exhausted his in,
genuity to escape observation from
the air. When he mistrusts the eff
ficiency of his measures (Which is
rare indeed) he resorts to air combat
to distract hostile observation from a
movement OF consequence. The ap'
proach of German machine, first OBJ
served as a tiny speck far away and
below, gladdens the heart of any
allied machine. AS the enemy aircraft
sweeps round and round in his huge
upward spiral. the sun gradually
shows up the iron crosses on his upper
planes.
Now and then series of 'spit-fires
from his centre shows he has opened
fire with his machine gun long before
he has the slightest chance of secur.
ing a hit. Presently, two other distant
circling dots take form as they line up
wards, for the German believes in
numbers and rarely takes the all
alone. Beyond seeing that ones arms
are in working order. no attention is
paid TO the Hun until he manages 10
struggle up to something of the same
height AS he climbs he fairly pops
off with his guns.
when the first German is about
our height. we turn straight at him
and prepare TO engage. He stands the
ordeal until we come within about
500 yards and then on the first few
bursts of our machine gun he dives
and makes fol his aerodrome. His col
leagues at a lower altitude swing
round. loose off few magazines, and
follow his example.
The reconnaissance continues on
its course making a special point OF
gathering on account of the great
move which the German had deter
mined to hide; while the enemy air
craft return to report what not and
leave the enemy anti-craft guns to re
sumo their futile efforts"
