is indispensable, the colonel declared.
if the aviator is to be an effective
fighting factor
Danger lies With IneXperienCe.
III u pilot is to be given a fair
chance Of going well on The western
front, II is essential that he be taught
acrobatics in the air" said Colonel Lee.
The socalled danger OF flying lies not
with those who do stunts in the air,
but with those who cannot do them.
All evolutions have to be shown to the
pupil by stages and there should never
be position in which the airplane can
be placed from which a pilot cannot
with ease rectify it, knowing exactly
what he Is doing. Unless a pilot can
turn his machine any way and every
way at any time in order to maneuyer
for position, all the straight flying in
the world win not help him when he
has to fight
Formation flying is one Of the most
important things OF modern day flying
but it must be borne in mind that as
soon as formation of approximately
her own strength is met and general
action ensues, it is individuality and
capability Of the individual flyers which
will win.
Not Showing OF.
1T is not a question of showing off
the aerial stunts or of pretending to
do anything which someone else cannot
do. 1t is only meant to show that the
airplanc can be made to maneuver
quickly in the air with great ease and
with perfect safety. No pilot should be
sent overseas who cannot do all these
things and more If he cannot do
later"
