When Shell Hits Aeroplane

E. w. Z1nn Of the Frencn AViatlOn
 corps in the American Boy.
 The obsrver must do all of this work not only with the machine in rapid mo- tion-often turning twisting and diving but also under fire from the enemy's anti-aircraft batteries It is surprising the number of shells that will be fired at single aeroplane. During the flights 1 have made in the recent offensive there has been only one during which we were not fired upon. Why we hap pened to escape that time is still mys- tery to me. In one short 10 minutes We have had as many as 50 shells explode unpleasantly near to us, not counting double the number that went wide. We have had our wireless dynamo smashed and our machine damaged. and once came home with only half the cylinders working because piece of shell had cut away the ignition wires. But so far neither the pilot nor 1 have been scratched This is the kind of luck one reads about
 If a shell hits the machine squarely, the whole thing is broken to bits and distributed over square mile of land- scape. If a shell with timed fuse explodes close enough to tear off a wing, or cut few of the sustaining wires. the piane comes down like T stone, twisted mass of wire and can vas. The worst thing that can happen from the observers viewpoint is to have the pilot killed or badly wounded. He would much prefer to be killed By the shell than to suffer the fall of mile, taking a couple of minutes or more. Two minutes may be short time, but in such circumstances it would seem a lifetime of horror. It is said that in such fall man would lose consciousness in the first thousand feet I sincerely hope it is SO
