BRINGING DOWN A
GERMAN AEROPLANE


This morning about 1880 a. m. ] saw
sight myself | saw German aero
plane brought down by one of our
beauties. The fight took place straight
over our heads. Imagine a gem of a
morning, cool and quiet, not a cloud
in the sky, and the sunshine SHIN
mcr;ng everywhere through a light
mist. Overhead all clear and no mist.
Suddenly two Huns in the air, and at
one two machines appear going like
the wind, and we realize that chase
is po;ng on. AS they circle and whirl
tho sun strikes their metallic parts,
and they flash and shine like two fly
ing fish which have just slipped UP
from the sea into sunshine. We could
sec the round bulls eyes which mark
our machines and we could see that
our machine had maneuvered into
the best place, up above the Hun,
and when straight above us we could
hear the machine gun speak from our
machine, faint, innocent little far
away pops, and of a suddn the beau
tfful racing Hun machine fell straight
down o long way and then recovered;
it slanted to the ground in the opp0-
site direction 10 the German lines and
in a moment it had disappeared low
down. Then we heard a burst Of rifle
fire, from one of our many camps
around, in the direction it had gone
and then soon far away cheering,
which came to us from camp to
camb. Our machine which dropped
the Hun was soon joined by another
Of ours, which came i'll racing out OF
spacc higher up in the blue. They
circlcd each other twice, and prob
ably communicated with each other
and then our machine which did the
killing quietly speeded UP straight for
tie German front to its daily duty
and was soon under fire there. AS it
passcd over us VIC chccrcd it and the
raucous, shrill bctween-the-teeth wills
Tic of tiie Maple Leaf men predominant
ed. | hope that pilot head it. Later
we heard that the machine was cap
tured about three miles back of us.
Both The Hun pilot and observer were
killed by the rifle fire at about four
hundred yards. They were slanting
down, doomed, when they suddenly
picked up and were just about to rise.
Then the rifles brought them down.
And the machine is of the latest and
not much hurt-From Scribner's Mag
