TWO MILES OF AIRPLANES
to General NiveIIe on Kelly
Field in Texas.

| When the first sentry at Kelly field
saluted Gen. Robert Georges Nivelle
the word was passed to the waiting
| airmen and as General Nivelle's car
| rounded hangar No. l he saw a line
of ships that stood wing to wing,
from hangar No. l to No. "a. A line
of SEES, De Havilands, Fokkers,
Spads, Curtiss, ING Hg., Capronis
and Handley Pages, every plane in
working ORDER with its crew and
pilot med up in front.
The general rode down the entire
line. When he returned to the re-
viewing stand the word of command
was given and the big line of pilots
and mechanics simultaneously broke,
and from hangar No 1 the bark of
single Sc. was the signal for the
entire line of ships to "come to life"
and they did. Three minutes later
the"e was not a single dead motor on
The line and the first-pursuit forma-
ton was already out on the field
ready to take off. They We're followed
by three other Sc. formations; then
the De Havilands rounded off. The
formation circled the field and passed
over the reviewing stand. The high
est formation was 1900 feet, the low
est 500.
There was a typical Texas norther
in action, with .thirty-tive-mile wind
on the ground, and naturally it was a
little bumpy. You who have flown in
Texas know what that means, but the
formations were all close and some
excellent stunning was carried on de
spite conditions.
The A. S. NJ. S. contributed pilots
to a pursuit and bombing formation.
Both formations were low and close
and the mechanics school men showed
that, though they were supposed to
be more familiar with the monkey
wrench than the Joy stick, when occa-
sion demanded they could handle both
in a more than passing manner.

This old Plymouth church belongs

partly upon the memorial days of great

upon organized laws and finally upon
historic buildings.
No one can fully value the influence
of the Temple in Jerusalem upon the
Hebrew state. In like manner the
Parthenon was like an invisible teach

plastic soul of the Greek race. There
are half a dozen buildings in Great
Britain, including Westminster abbey
and st. Paul's, and to take those
buildings out of England's life would
be like taking the intellect out of
mans body.
