Dear Col Mitchell:
Your most recent mental aberra ton
reflected in your statements on the
Air Service published in the press in
the last few days brings to my mind
an old adage which one Of the teachers
in home town high school used quite
frequently. 1t is: An empty wagon

minded also of another thing which
was very amusing to me. This was
the wearing Of spurs by officers of
the Air Service.
Having served for time in the
Regular Army. ] resent your attacks
on the service. I feel doubiy resentful
for the reason that my brother is. or
ather was, navigator OF the Shena n
doah While / am dubious as to the
effect, | am writing you to give you
food for thought.
Every form of human endeavor is
by it's very nature faulty in it's func-
tioning. 1t is but natural that there is
room for improvement in the Army,
the Navy, Col. Mitchell, etc. That
there is room, for just as much i'm
