A FRENCH AVIATION STATION
IN FRANCE, Jan. al had hoped
to be able, today to tell how the Ger
man trenches look from a French
airplane, but
Our blamed engine went dead on
us and we were forced to descend
behind the French lines in a series
of awful bumps.
It was my first ride in a battle
plane. Also, without any reservations,
my last.
A certain high officer in aviation
had been promising for q long time
to take me over the German trenches
with him.
This morning he said: Lets go
over and see what the Boches are
up to-
Sure" I assented. where's your
bus?"
"Out on the field behind that last
hangar yonder. Tell the men to strap
you in the back seat. I'll be along in
a few minutes; I've got to get my toys
on"
When he appeared had been
buckled and strapped and tied so Sc
curely that / couldn't have released
myself with set of burglar tools.
1t was a biting cold morning.
The pilot took his place and the
men started turning the propeller.
They twirled and twirled and twirl-
ed and then took off their coats and
twirled some more, but not a solitary
kick of the engine rewarded them for
their efforts.
The pilot was profuse with orders
and directions. Three or four times
one of the mechanics crawled up on
top of the engine and hit 1t with @
big hammer.
This old boat" the pilot turn
ed to me and apologized, hasn't
been acting very well lately.
We've been overhauling her and
this is her first flight since she
came out of the shop. Well get
her going in a jiffy. Don't get
impatient"
If number of my friends hadn't
been standing on the sidelines
would have been willing to have call
ed of my part in the fight over the
German lines.
