 To Captain Riekenbacker went the barograph, or altitude recorder of the ship, and to Major Chambers the machine gun. The barograph record of the last German flight of the fa- nous Hanover plane is of historical interest because it gives an accurate record of the aerial fight.
 On the barograph record are the German letters ''FLZABT-D," which, translated, mean a German alrplane instrument, type D. The record is in meters.
 The mute chronicle of the baro- graph of the flight shows that the Hanover toook to the air at twenty minutes beyond the hour and climb ed to an altitude of 1,5oo meters, or point that the big two-seated Hanover encountered the American ace of aces-Captain Eddie Rickenbacker.
 According to Rickenbacker, the was a case in which pilots and ob- servers matched wits for position and firing angles. The German plane was brought down a full two miles within the American lines. Captain Rickenbacker disposed of the ob- server, Major Chambers taking care of the pilot.
 The Hanover plane was brought back to the United States and has been exhibited in a number of places over the country.
 Both Rickenbacker and Chambers were desirous of some remembrance of the battle, and Uncle Sam con scented to give each of them a me- rQentO.
