which since have been combined in a
government film depicting phases

Thomas remained in Europe and
was assigned. with other photoe-

are marvellous almost.
Describing his trip out here Thomas
said the plane stopped over night at
Minneapolis. after leaving Dayton in
the morning. Leaving Minneapolis the
following morning, heavy winds were
encountered, and for that reason the
plane flew as low as 100 feet from
the earth. Some of the men were sea-
sick. They had lot of fun, watching
the tackrabbits scatter in all dircc-
tons beneath them. The plane ran
into wild ducks, or the ducks flew
into the plane. apparently out of that
strange fascination height gives when
there is motion combined. A good
many Of the coll;ding ducks were
thus killed.
At one point of the trip. while
Thomas watched rabbits scurrying be-
low. he felt something sloppy hit him
on the check and lodge there. When
he reached up and plucked the object |
away 1t proved to be the head of an |
owl the plane had struck and killed.
