Former Richmond Man Tells of

shot within thirty feet of this flash

The German gun flash was seven
miles away from the balloon. The bat
terry would fire the first shot accord
ing 20 the location of the flash as we
sent it down. and if you did not locate
this flash accurately the smoke bomb
was away off the target, and then you
had 10 correct the shot by calling it so
many meters right or left, short or
over. If you did not silence this Ger
man gun by the time it had flashed
ten times you were brought down.
Three men did not see the flashes at
all. Seven saw the flashes and | was
the only one that directed any fire
close enough to hit it. My fifth shot
did the work and the gun flashed only
five times. The thing that helped me
was that | placed the flash within
less than forty feet of its position a

No free balloons are used over here
and only a few dirigibles.

I'VE do mostz of our observing at
from 1000 to 1880 meters. If we are
attacked and the balloon catches fire
we have a parachute attached to us
and jump out Of the basket. as we
have only seven to ten seconds to get
away before the balloon is burned up.
