ffty-three German airplanes inside the

age Of twenty-five. At the beginning
of the war Guynemer was under age.
He tried five times unsuccessfully to
get into the army and finally had to
literally break his way into the Avia-
tion Corps. The infantry refused him
because he was under weight for his
height. and the flying corps rejected
him because the examining surgeon
considered that he was too nervous.
Finally. through the influence of q

of an aviation school. he was allowed
to learn to fly He astonished his in
structors by his rapid progress and
GOODNESS and won a flying license. after
