Now patrol has the duty to pro

it does not usually offer the same
chance to get shot at the Huns that
a voluntary chase expedition does. If,
for instance. had been there with an
other man just looking for boche and
with no sector to protect, the thing to
have done would obviously have been
TO fly deep into our own lines as if

up by being forced to retreat by the

Flying Upside Down
Not an Amusement

You will read in "The Flying Machine
Magazine" about flying upside down,
but it is not what it is cracked up to
be. One often gets on ones back in
certain man9uvres, but only for an in,
stant, and with always sufficient CEN
trifugal force to keep one securely in
place. In learning to loop the loop,
however, have got upside down
for longer than | intended, because the
loop was not done properly, and it is
not pleasant You start to fall out and
even though your belt holds you pretty
tight in your seat, there is tendency
to grab the side of the machine. Then
whatever dirt is in the bottom of the
machine falls over you. the oil, etc,
fzzles out Of the top of it's tank and
the motor starts to splutter and wants
to stop, duo to the gasolene not feed

All this end everything being upside
down give you a queer feeling in your
middle, and although in some specially
constructed machines l believe it is
possible to fly upside down, it is not
at all my idea of good time. Hence,
when | saw my friend the Hun flying
into our lines with his wheels in the
air l thought ne must be pretty sick,
but after my previous experience was
expecting every minute to see him come

helpless with two guns that would not
work

my controls first with one hand, and

Pacific Ought To Be

what an absurdity it would be to trans
fer the burden to the Far East, which
has been fairly free of it up to the

human happiness, we ought to examine
