Their enthusiasm is contagious
I went to Dayton to talk with the worlds fore

Orville Wright is a of 46, of medium size.
Modest and unassun1ing, he gives the impression
of independence in thought and action. He is
deliberative in manner, well-organized, perfectly
controlled clear thinking.

the aviation field. "And it's worth doing. 1t offers
us the one big hope OF winding up this war next

years to come. All our information is that Ger

The peace of the air. may seem like a con-
tradction in terms in war time but it is the
supreme sensation of fair-weather flying apart
from flying and fighting. Once you have got your

What we must do is to drive every enemy air
plane out of the air. BY doing this not only
prevent the Germans from knowing whats we are
doing, but We also cripple their artillery, for ar

The JOY and chlvaIry Of Air Fiehtlna.

Flying has become as much a matter of routine
in war as marching on land steaming on the
sea, and men are ordered to fly, at fixed hours ana
for stated periods as though flying were natural
act and not the organized miracle that it really is.
A correspondent of the London Times writes in
terestingly about it, saying:
Out in France the last chivalries, the last beau
ties of battle have taken refuge in the air. From
the labors butcheries, mseries, horrors and ash
pit desolation of the earth, the fighting romance
