In quiet" sector the American
soldier gets his first experience OF
war. Some of the relatively small
things in this war look SO big to the
new man that he is inclined to take
them for bigger ones" said an Ameri
can general" and it is important for
the soldier and the young officer to
get familiar with the little frightful
nesses the Germans send over so as
get the proper proportion between
them and real attacks
Patrols are large contributors to

| pldly more SaIe, veteran lhsIructors
at the British American aerodromes
in England tell their pupils. The pro-
portion of casualties during training
/ in the Air Force are now no higher,
they say, than in any other branch of
combatant service.
During three years flying
,perience | have seen upwards Of
fifty crashes, but / have not yet seen
any man receive more than skin-deep
injuries as the result Of these crash
/ s," declared Lieutenant l.. Walmsley
of the Royal Air Force, in a talk with
American airmen recently.
Probably my experience has been
unusually fortunate, but statistics
show that the proportion Of fatalities
to crashes in extraordinary small.
Some of the first airplane accid-
ents were due to the collapse of the
machine in mid-air and because the
pilot in those days was merely strap
ped to board or strut, Without any
covering whatever, the results were
the fuselage or body, made strongly
Of steel and wood, in which the pilotes
and passengers seats were placed,
made it possible for an airplane to
fall from great heights without the
occupants being killed. Because of
the central position of the fuselage,
this is always the last part to feel
the effects of crash, the main force
Of which is broken by the under
carriage and planes, which act as
buffers.
1.-TWO days after | joined the Royal
Air Force saw machine come down
in a giddy spinning dive and land
squarely on the roof of one of the
hangers. The pilot climbed out and,
lighting cigarette, calmy asked if
if the other machine was ready.
During the next few weeks, | saw
no fewer than five crashes, and not
in a single case was either pilot or
observer hurt.
Since then, in nearly three years,
of flying must have seen perhaps
fifty crashes. have seen airplanes
houses, lamp-posts, trenches, motor
lcrries and bridges. Personally have
crashed into a barn, on a tennis court
in a flooded field, and into tropical
forest; the last at speed of so miles
an hour. And in all these adventures,
not yet seen u man receive anything
worse TINA a skinned nose as the
result of crash, and the only wound
| ever got myself was made by thorn
from prickly pear bush.
"An airman can usually tell when
a crash is inevitable, and like lightn-
ing he must make up his mind how
he can use his undercarriage and
planes if necessary. to the best ad-
vantage, first of all to save the life
of his observer and his own, and if
possible to save the engine, the most
valuable part of the machine.
He may have to pancake into a
patch of bush, or he may have to fly
deliberately between two trees and
strip his wings; but so long as he
keeps his head the chances of making
a successarful crash are greatly in
his favor.
