If the term Royal Air Force sounds
unfamiliar to the average reader, let
me explain that this is the new name
of the combined Royal Flying Corps
and the Royal Naval Air Service. We
are now on a par with the army and
navy as separate and distinct SER
vice, and have a representative in the
British cabinet.
When aviation was in it's very in

and closely followed the development
of the art of flying in England. So

to fly at my own expense. passed

Bristol BOX Kite" so called, was my
first machine, and learned to operate

suffering accident. -
The flying game was pretty eXpen-

dividual aviator, so joined the Cen

ton, at Salisbury Plain in May, 1914
and became a member of the Royal
Flying Corps. little thinking that in a

Davis, and he sought to -dissuade
