unusual this month. Within a half
hour every machine that was In work

In another letter, written December
l. young Walcott says:
81 tried to give you some idea of the
strength of a Spad in a letter while
ago. At home people speak of factor
of safety, meaning the number of times
stronger the machine is than is neces-
sary for plain flying. The Spad is made
so that a man can't bust it, no matter
what he does in the air-dive as far
and as fast as he can and stop as bru-
tally as he can, it stands the racket.
OF course. motors do stop, and if 1t
that's just hard luck.
Have had a few patrols since last
I wrote. One at big height-4,0OO to
4,500 meters, considerably above the
clouds. which almost shut out the
ground below; a wonderfully beautiful
sight but beastly cold-and a couple
when the clouds were low and solid.
The patrol stays at just the height OF
the clouds, hiding in them. slipping out
again TO look around. If 1t stays be-
low the enemy antiaircraft guns pep
per It whenever near the lines, and at
a low altitude that is rather awkward.
SO the patrol shows itself as little as
possible.
ITS lots of sport to try to keep with
the patrol; be behind the chief of pa

into a fog bank, lowhanging cloud.
and not see a darn thing. Then dive
down out of the cloud wondering
whether the other guy is right under
meath or not; dart out of the cloud and
see him. maybe 500 yards away, going
at right angles. Then back up and
turn around fast and give her the gear
full speed TO catch up-and so on.
See a Boche regulating artillery fire,
start to maneuver into range, and,
zip; he's out of sight in the clouds,
and the next you see he is beating II

This type of camera which no doubt
will be used by American aviation
corps men for reconnaissance work
is attached to the airplane and
is operated by the pulling of strings
or the pressing of buttons. The cam
era is almost automatic, as everything
can be set in advance and the entire
operation of taking the picture is the
pressing of the button or the pulling
of the strings. The camera makes an
almost perfect view of the terrain and
will be invaluable in the reconnaissance
work of the army. The camera is
loaded with plates and a number of
pictures can be taken successfully with
out additional work. A British royal
flying corps man is in the machine.
