ENEMY DREAD THE ANTI.
AIRCRAFT BARRAGE

Somewhere in France, Dec. o.
The anti-aircraft barrage is today the
most dreaded enemy weapon which
the airman has to face in his flights
over the lines. In the midst of .
sea of bursting shells. the airplane
bobs up and down like q ship In .
violent storm. The conclusions
which the shells make in bursting
produce a swift succession Of air
pockets and air buns, and 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to keep q machine
steady through them. Meanwhile
there is the strain of knowing always
that the next instant one Of the fly
ing shell splinters may reach vital
spot in either machine or pilot.
Yet it is not possible to avoid flying
through a barrage at times. The lat
est type of anti-aircraft guns can
place a barrage as high as $4,000 feet
and It is not practical to turn about
and try to climb over the barrage. II
takes a very highly specialized scout
machine to climb to $4,000 feet, and
the heavier machines cannot achieve
that altitude under any circumstances
The longer the airman hesitates to
run the barrage, the longer he is ex
posed to the fire. Anti-aircraft gun
merry at the front has now reached
point where the range is calculated
to a nicely almost instantaneously BY
processes of triangulation and, there
fore. the flyer who hesitates is lost
The only thing he can do is. to take
his chance, just as a ship at sea takes
storm and accepts its chances OF
weathering the gale.
Next to the barrage. the most reared
of the ground defenses is the "cius
ter. This is a group Of six anti
aircraft shells, sent up together. and
n,aeed lust ahead of the machine. witt
one shell aimed to burst the tip o
the fuselage. two on each side OF IL
two on each side just ahead. and on
farther directly ahead.
The side-slip is the favorite protee
ton against these clusters. Tn
anti-aircraft gunners get their rang
nowadays so accurately that tn
slightest move out Of range is fairl
certain to get the machine out Of dal
. gers way,-unless the gunners hav
anticipated this move. as they som'
times do. by placing another cluste
, at the most likely spot for an expec
i ed side-slip.
The side-slfp Is produced by tippin

estimating its height to be the same.
In reality the machine is little to
one side and several feet lower as
the result Of his skillful sideslip.
Below height of 5000 feet anti
aircraft guns cannot be used to ad.
vantage, but machine-guns and rifles
provide equally dangerous enemies. A
