4ircraft in Var and Peace

Science becomes romance when il is
presented with the interest with which
w. II. Berry tells of the development
and possibilities of "Aircraft in War
and commerce" Many books have
been published on this subject since the
beginning of the war. Some of them
have been textbooks addressed specitt-
callY to the student; others have been
purely popular accounts of aerial adVen-
lures The present volume is a COmpre-
hensive study describing the evolution
of aircraft before the beginning Of the
war and the enormous effect the war
has eXerted upon subsequent develop
ment in this field. The author describes
the different types of planes. their en-
gines and uses. and shows how much Of
the success of a battle on land or sea
may depend upon the superiority Of
slight details.
A final chapter deals with the COM
mercial possibilities oc aircraft develop
mcut in the future. How practical
these possibilities are has been conclu-
SiVeIy demonstrated here by the aerial
mail service. With steady increase Of
stability and carrying power the author
believes these uses may be increased

FAMOUS
AIR FIGHTER
Major Bishop Tells of His
Harbrcadth Escape in a
Book Full OF Adpenture

1t is a platitude that war today is
devoid of romance and adventure. But
the warrior Of .he air has a different
story to tell. All the excitement that
the trench and the long-ranEe gun have
driven from the infantryman's life has
been concentrated in the flying corps
The aviator has more thrills and en-
perienCes more acute danger in the
course of IA week than the fighters in
former wars encountered in months.
One of the most famous of all aerial
fighters has at length come forward
with his own atory-the story of a brave
man to whom adventure is the very
breath Of life. and for whom fear does
out affcctation by Major w. A. Bishop
in Winged Warfare" The significant
letters NJ. G.. y. s. O.. and V. G. are the
visible symbol of the ma ior's breath
stopping exploits fighting the Germans
in the clouds But only by reading his
fascinating book can one appreciate the
full extent and character Of the heroic
and hazardous deeds of which he writes
so diffidently and modestly.
The author went to the war with n
contingent of Canadian cavalry in the
summer Of 1915. But in utter disgust
at the interminable mud at a training
camp III ne resolved TO enter
the flying corps Thus was one of the
greatest aviators of all born. The or
dinary individual, endowed with natural
impulses of fear and caution, would have
been killed by shattered nerves count less
times in the adventures here reCOunted
so casually and with an almost unbeliev-
able lack of self-consciousness Time
after time the author sailed merrly into
battle with the odds overwhelmingly
against him Time after time he

because he did not do better
Winged Warfare" is miraCulously
