AERIAL GUNNERY.
Absolutely Necessary for Aviators to
Be Accurate Shots.

Somewhere in France, Aug. 25
Correspondence of The Associated
Press)-Accurate machine-gun fire

cessfui combat aviator, allied aviation
experts agree. Fortunately for tbs
allies that is one department in which
their aviators excel.
1t is interesting to note the pro-
gress made in the weapons used by
aviators At the opening of hostilitieS
airplanes were used mainly for OBJ
servation work. Their pilots were
armed generally with carbines, anC
sometimes only with an automatic re-
vo1ver. Then came the fighting alc-
plane and the single and double ma
chine gun.
But these newer md more deadly
weapons are useless unless properly
aimed, and this is no small task rs
the pilot must aim not his gun, bul
his whole machine He must use his
airplane as gun mount. 1t is easy
