times and they're pretty important for
you, too. But that Is the important
part OF the game, and a fascinating part.
It has one OF the phases where the
American flyers have been most sue
cessful. Their judgment has to be made
in the lightning way. But most OF the
boys are we'll educated men and quick
thinkers.
After you fly awhile you get a sense
OF feeling that is new. You sort OF feel
a Boche around and feel the direction,
too, since II Is hard to see him. OF
course you are always looking around,
because a couple Of minutes without
care would enable a German to dive
on you Unexpectedly and II might
mean flowers.
Most people who have never flown
imagine running the plane is a question
Of concentrated attention on the me-
chanics Of 1t. That is not so. once
you get up, you can't fly along for a
long time without touching a lever and
without hearing anything but the mo-
tor. You do not need TO steer and your
only concern Is not 70 get too FAR into
Germany. Since there are no ruts In
the air or trees TO hit and since the
air is a big space your direction makes
little difference You can't bump into
anything.
The things you watch most IS the
huge space all around you and keep
your eyes open for more planes. once
you see one you Immediately work for
position until you learn whether II Is
q friend or Boche Then you act ac-
cordingly and It never takes long to
make up your mind what 10 do.
Clouds are risky things. They look
bright and feecy when you are away
from them. When you dive into them
you feel no sensation and hit nothing.
Everything seems Ike a fog. II they
are large, they are dangerous, for you
lose your sense OF direction often when
In them. Sense OF direction is more
than a compass which often
doesn't work when you are diving
around. Clouds can also hide Boches." D"
