Equally important, he declares, the
| British have much the most accurate
notion of what the flying service is
| about. They coordinate it with their
military operations most effectively.
They have less fear of the daily report
of comparative losses on both sides.
They use the aircraft for certain spe-
cific purposes; when the bit of infor-
nation that is wanted is accounted of
more value tRan the chance of losing
some machines, why the British serv-
ice goes after the information.
At the end of the day it may be
necessary to inake'a report admitting
that more British than German Iua-
chimes were lost; but what of that?
The needed observation was taken, or
the highly important photograph was
secured.

not with view to saving their ma
chimes, not with q notion of avoiding
dangers rs much as possible; especial

"The British aviators are not spoiled
with laudation and heroics. They re-
gard themselves very much as so
many Tommles in the trenches do.
Their business is to 60 up when they
are told and get what they are sent
for; just as Tommys business Is to
hang on till hades freezes when he's
attacked, and TO 20 over and never stop
when he's ordered to attack. Neither
one of them feels particularly enthu-
siastic about his job as a means to
winning honors or distinction; he
doesn't think much about that part Of
It. He attends strictly to the job.
"It's the sporting instinct that makes
these Britishers such good flying men.
They're the greatest daredevils in the
business; do anything, and get away
with things the BOche wouldn't think
Of trying. They don't look on their
work as a great series of personal adj
ventures but as part of an organized
mechanism with objects a good deal
bigger and more important than the
interest of any one man.
$50 the British don't take so much
interest in the individual feats of Prov
ess of favorable fliers. Air duelling Is
not the object of flying. The object
Is to get the information ones sett
for and to get back with it.

he must count ON the great danger Of
being shot down by these guns as well
as on the chance of meeting an en-
