Lieutenant Wnsow Writes His Diary Graphic Story Describing

Its Historical Value

aviation field. Furthermore, mine
dropped about 100 yards to the right
and Doug's 100 yards to the left of our

one of our majors, who, with the
French army since 1915, has shot
down II machines, never had one land
in France-and here we go right off
the bat and stage fight over our aero

The whole camp was pouring out, fly

There was a huge crowd around
the wrecked plane. and the first man

piest man in the world outside of me
and Doug. A French and an American
general blew up IN limousine to
