In England the varying beauties OF
the landscape make crOss-cOuntry
flight full Of interest; but In the east
ern theaters of the war, like Palestine,
Mesopotamia, India and East Africa,
airmen frequently have to fly hun
dreds Of miles Of monotonous desert or
forest.
AT one place in East Africa" writes
Lieut.. w. Walmsley of the r. A. F.,
"the German lines were separated from
our aerodrome by nearly go miles Of
dense, uninhabited brush; and a more
uninteresting landscape could not be
imagined. Each day we had to fly
over the dreary wilderness and back
again, after making our recOnnois-
sance.
with hands and feet off the con-
trolls, the type of machine we were
then employing would jog along for
hours without the slightest attention
on the part Of the pilot, and life be-
came distinctly boring, until at last
we hit on the happy idea Of taking up
with us selections from our very linn
tied library.
zone of the effects Of flying Is to
make one feel very drowsy; so our
choice lay chiefly with the lightest lit
erature. Most of the flying men had
q favorite novel, and old copies Of
Punch La Vie Parisienne,' etc., made
frequent flights. In successive flights

'Ayesha,' and really 1t was most fas-
cinating to glance over the side Of the
fuselage and see the very country
around which this thrilling romance
Is woven.

mail arrives just as we are setting
out. Pocketing the most promising Of
the delicately perfumed envelopes, we
would open and read them on the way
out to the Hun, do our reconnaissance
and write replies to them on the way
back. A friend showed me one Of
these letters the other day and 1t
might have been written on ones
study table, so far as legibility is con-
cerned.
