is the scOut-plane, which is the ul-
innate object of every young pilot.
Scout planes fly in groups of six.
Each plane carries only one man
who is pilot, observer and every
thing else all in one. Their one
and only duty is to keep the sky
as free from enemy airplanes as
possible. In other words they are
strictly offensive machines.
Then comes the observation
planes. This type of plane carries
one pilot and one observer. The
pilot handles the plane and the ma
chine gun which fires through the
propeller. while the observer
checks off on his map the locations

sitions
Bombing Planes Slow.
Bombing planes. which are list
ed under the third class, carry two
pilots and are sometimes equipped
with from one to three engines.
They often develop as high as 800
horsepower.
These planes are not used for Of
fensive work at all, but are sent
out with loads of bombs which
sometimes weigh between 300 and
400 pounds apiece, which they drop
behind the enemy lines. Being very
slow, they are accompanied by scout
planes to protect them from enemy
planes. The Hun machines take
great delight in attacking the al
lies bombers, as they know that
the bombing planes are so slow
that they have no chance to fight
back.
