PLANES TO CARRY WOUNDED
Physician and Corporal Declare This
Form Of Transport Superior to
Ambulances.

LOndon.-TeSts recently made on
the western front with an airplane
fitted with two stretchers for carrying
wounded have proved highly satisfac-
tory. No wounded were carried dur
ing the tests, but Doctor Chassaing OF
the army medical service and Corporal
Tetu represented wounded passengers
during twelve-minute flight, the
equivalent of fifteen-mile journey.
Both the physician and the corporal
declared that this form of transport
is far superior to an ambulance, or
which both have vivid recollections,
having been wounded two years ago.
Doctor Chassaing, who removed a
muller from his head and unfastened
straps during the flight, expressed the
opinion that there would be no I'M
necessary pain to wounded passen-
ger, because the equilibrium of the
airplane is SO perfect. The machine
was constructed by the aeronautlc
service Of the army. which hopes to
use this form Of transport for the Sc
verely wounded.
