considerable skill in handling.
The impromptu pilot Of the ma

who certainly had had no official
training in flying, and it is doubted
that he ever had even held the con-

in fight.
He simply stepped into the ma
chine as it stood on the airdrome
in the early morning hours awaiting
the regular pilot to take it up. He
started the engines and took off
Three hours later the machine
re-appeared, glided toward the

made a very fair landing.
