Rockwell Field, San Diego, Calf,
June 11.-Dear Mr.. Keith: Am flying
every day now, but have not gone up
alone yet. Will go up alone in few
days. 1t is great sport and we went
at it so gradually that we hardly re-
allied we were flying. 1 say grad
ually. By that mean mentally. We
learned a lot before we came here.
1t was more of thrill the first time.
l crank an engine by grabbing the
propeller and giving it a twist. 1t
surely is wicked running affair. The
first time up we marched out to field
and climbed in and went. l was the
first one of our bunch up and l went
at it just like sitting down to meal.
Wasn't bit nervous. I'd seen hun
dreds of flights the day before. But
do dread the first time up alone.
However, Pll be quite used to it by
then. am taking training for pilot.
l may go into bombing. If l stay with
this end of it I'll be the oldest pilot
in the service. l can learn to fly all
right, but 1 believe I'll fly on bomb
ing plane as bomber; I'd like it bet
ter.
June 14-Dear Mr.. Mains-Am fly
ing every day now, and it is great,
sport. 1t is so common that the men
don't even discuss it in barracks. One
sees about so machines in the air at
once all day long. We started at s.
this morning as that is the best air
for the beginners. The weather is hot

From Don Sanders.

June 5-Here l am two days out of
N. Y. C. We expect to arrive Satur-
day morning or Friday night, and if
we do it will surely be some fast trip,
as well as some exciting trip, having
been attacked twice by German sub
marines, once on our trip in and again
coming out. The first attack was
about 2:15 p. M, when we were only
two hourse out of French port. We
ran into a regular school of them
five or six in all, and had running
fight lasting about thirty minutes,
during which time were fired 80 shots
from our six-inch guns, but do not
know how many torpedoes were fired
at US. Anyway, not one found its
mark and we pulled into France with
everything intact except some of the
superstructure around the guns that
was torn down by their concussion.
We were in France just 48 hours
and in that time unloaded all troops
and provisions, took on water and coal
only two hours out from port on our
way back when again we were looking
down at a periscope, and this time
there were about five shots fired by
our guns as we ran away from the
sub, leaving it to the fate of the de-
stroyers conveying US, and l guess
they did some good work from all re-
ports. The convoy could do nothing
during the engagement while going
into France, for they were in such a
position that they had to fall back
in order to get out of our line of fire
and we were firing on both sides and
from the stern during this battle.
was below on watch and looked for |
"pickle" to come through the bulk
head any minute, but couldn't leave
as l was in charge of the station, but |
the two men on watch with me went
up and saw the excitement, and the
report is that the subs met their fate.
Coming out l was on top side and
had just started to go below and get
ready to go on watch when the sub
was sighted, so stayed up and saw the
fun, which did not last long, for after
we quit firing the destroyers dropped
several depth bombs in the wake of
the sub, then caught up with Us.
About ten days previous to our
landing in France, one German sub
was captured trying to get into the
harbor and about five days later an
other German sub came steaming into
the harbor flying white flag and
gave themselves up, after having kill
ed their captain and thrown him over
board. They were nearly famished. ;
They were sent out from their base I
with orders not to return until they $
had sunk an American transport, but
had run out of supplies and were
forced to surrender, they say. The
crew could all speak good English and c
seemed to be glad to be prisoners of /
war.
