BRITISH AlRMEN DEVELOP
CAT EYES; SEE IN DARK

LONDON, June 22,--The activity
OF British mrmen In connection with
recent air raids on London indicates
that they are learning rapidly the
art Of fighting the Gotha in the
dark Until a few months ago thcre
WAS little air fighting at night, even
in France and raiding craft enjoyed
marked advantage BECAUSE their
object was solely to avoid attack
while dropping their bombs
II is evident that they are able no
longer to avoid attack. For one
thing. the British pilots have learned
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-06-23

TO see in the dark MS "A result OF
numerous nitht flights in search OF
enemy machines. Now they are able
to spot Gothas at distances which
would have been considered impOs-
sible in the early stages OF night
raids.
They have. learned also how to
take the best positions for combat
ting the enemy. aud how to keep
those positions The Gotha, being
an extremely heavy machine Is
adept at slipping away. BY sud
den plunge in front OF the attacking
scout it can create n "backwash" and
leave the attacker struggling to right
his machine.
The British pilots now know how
to cope with that trick and to keep
within thirty or forty yards Of the
