For example, there is the story Of .
British pilot who yesterday attacked
an enemy machine ten miles over the
German lines and Immediately was
set upon by three other hostile
scouts. But the Britisher pursued his
original prey until he saw him crash
1000 feet 10 the ground. Then he
turned westward. but saw he could not

The startled Germans also got under

however, and rs he neared the British
lines they were driven back By a heavy
fire.

All the controls except one part OF one

machine got into "spin," dangerous
