British Commander Denies
So-Called Dangerous
Tricks Are Foolhardy
Necessary for Pilots
Airmen Who Go to Front
Unknowing Will Meet
Death, He Says

WASHINGTON, Feb. Hair-rais-
ing stunts by student aviators may
seem foolhardly to the casual observer,
but they are vital part of the army
flicrs' training, Lieutenant Colonel
Charles E. Lee, Of the British Royal
Flying Corps, declared here to-day.
"To forbid student avators to at
tempt these stunts may save few
fatalities at training camps on this
side,' said Colonel Lee, "but will GER
tainly be the cause of hundreds of
them at the 'front.'"
For the last three days Colonel Lee,
head of the British aviation mission in
the United States, has been doing war
tricks in the air over the national cap
ltal to show officials and others what
the American air fighter must prepare
to do when he flies over the German
lines.
Stunts Called Essential
Doing the Immelmann turn the loop
thc-loop. the falling leaf and other
to turn their faces and gasp. This
demonstration Of what fighting man
must do in the air, coming at time
when several student aviators have
been killed at American camps raised
Ii question as to whether they were
really necessary or were only stunts.
Most cmphatcally, said Colonel Lee
ho
goes into battle if he expects to out
manmuvre his adversary, slip out of
tight places and become an efficient
fighting flyer. Moreover, said Colonel
Lee, they are not dangerous, provided
the pilot has been trained and knows
his machine. The ability to perform
them is indispensable, the colonel de-
clared, if the aviator is to be an eff
fective fighting factor
"If the pilot is to be given a fair
chance of doing we'll on the Western
front, it is we'll he should be taught
acrobatics in the air." said Colonel Lee.
"Ihe so-called danger in flying lies not
with those who do stunts in the air,
but with those who cannot do them.
All cvolutions have to be shown the
pupil by stages, and there should
never be a position in which the air.
plane can be placed from which pilot
cannot with ease rectify it, knowing
exactly what he is doing. Unless 81
pilot can turn his machine any way
and every way at any time in order to
mannuvrc for position all the straight
flying in the world will not help him
when he has to fight.
Unfinished Course Suicide
"Formation flying is one Of the
most important things of modern day
flying, but it must be borne in mind
that as soon as formation of approx
mately its own strength is met and
general action ensues it is individu
atty and capability of the individual
hiers which will win.
at is not question of showing off
the aerial stunts, Or Of pretending to
anything which some one else can
not do. 1t is only meant to show that
an acroplane can be made to mannuvre
quickly in the air, with great ease and
with safety. No pilot should be sent
overseas who cannot do all these things
and more. If he cannot do them he will
be shot down sooner or later

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Railroads

cities for Washingtons Birthday

can be accomplished without inter
ference with vital movements of coal,
food and important war supplies.

Other applications for troop move

however, that most movements would
be discouraged. largely because of the
necessity of mobilizing available pas
senger equipment for the movement,
on February 90, of the last contingent
Of the National Army to training
camps.
Secretary Baker recently expressed
the wish that National Army units
might participate wherever possible in
Washington's Birthday parades to
show the public the results of their
training, but, in view Of the railroad
transportation difficulties, this will be
attempted mainly in cities within easy
reach or marching distance of camps.
