day, April %, Miles City will en-
tertain the flying circus, one of
the squadrons which is touring
the United States in the interest
of the Victory Loan drive which
|issto be under way on April 81.
To call this the opportunity of
a life time" for thespeople of this
district is not exaggeration. I'm.
less one has visited the larger
cities, or flying fields established
during the war, it is impossible to
conceive of the aerial exhibition
which will be staged by the vi
sitting flyers, who are advertising
the Victory Loan drive.
Aerial warfare as it actually
was at the front will be demon
strated by these planes and flyers,
who will give a realistic exhib-
ition of what war in the air means.
American observation planes will
take the air and will be attacked
by Hun airplanes. United States
scouts will ascend and drive off
the enemy. This will be made ev-
en- more realistic by the use of S
five captured German fokkers
which have been repaired and put
into commission.
Following the warfare demon
stration a stunt program will be
given. Army flyers will do any,
thing that can be done with a
plane and they will exhibit every
stunt known to the flying world.
A parade will be given during
the morning and the air spectacle
will take place during the after
noon. Special train Accommodations
are to be provided for visitors to
Miles City on this date.
The flying circus" is travelling
by special train consisting of 9
nine end--door baggage cars and
three Pullman sleepers. It carries
over 100 officers and men. Six
American aces, members of the
famous Lafayette escadrille, are
to be among the pilots. Major
Carl Spatz, who has won the dis.
tinguiehed service cross for his
aerial achievements; Major Ken
meth Mari, one of the organizers
of the Lafayette escadrille; Cap
tain John A. Hambleton, comman-
der of the 2l3th aero squadron
and credited with six German
machines; Captain w. H. Hoover,
six planes; Lieut.. H. w. Foolner,
three planes and Lieut.. Geo. w.
Puryear, two planes, are among
the flyers who will pilot the ma
chimes.
