PLAN TRAP:
KILL EACH OTHER

there had been no expectation that
two flights Of German planes would
respond at the same time.
Not being able TO distinguish the
markings of their friends-and this
has happened not infreQuently before
the newcomers Immediately began
furious attack upon them. The Brit
ish leaders then guided their patrol
into this mad melee and took q hand.
The Halberstadt was the first vic
tim and this was shot down by the
British commanding machine. Another
British fighter in the meantime had
accounted for two more enemy scouts,
which were sent swirling to destruc-
ton below.
All this time the German aircraft
were continuing their bitter battle
among themselves and several of them
were seen to 60 down out Of con-
troll before the engagement finally
ended. The British leaders. by their
good judgment. had led the Huns into
their own trap.
Fifty Planes in Fight.
This undoubtedly was a unique oc-
currence, but there are always plenty
Of thrilling incidents happening in
the air these days. Take, for instance.
the case Of British patrol of about
eight battle planes which fought and
vanquished some forty enemy craft
few days ago. This British patrol.
under command of a captain. was
escOrting bombing squadron when
two score enemy machines were en-
cOuntered. The British fighters and
the enemy Immediately raced in for
the attack.
Within few seconds a fierce fight
was in progress and the great fleet of
nearly half a hundred airships were
swirling and diving madly against one
another. while their machine guns
