from sense of patriotism to the United

If there is an early decision in his

courtesy of Commissioner Conway P.
Coe of the Patent Office took aboard two
examiners who from the beginning had
remained unconvinced of the validity of
his claim.
Bennett Griffen, test pilot for the De-
partment of Commerce, sat in the open
cockpit. One of the examiners, an
amateur with no experience of instru-
ment navigation. was placed under the
hood. He was instructed to take over
the controls and fly straight ahead. In
less than three minutes he began veer-
ing in wide circle, which developed
into a clock-spring spiral and eliminated
in an earthward dive at $50 miles an
hour. During all these operations the
flyer continued at intervals to sound
the CHEEKY call: Flying straight
ahead!' Mr. Griffen saved the party by
seizing the controls and leveling the
ship off.
In September, 1912, he enlisted as
private in the Signal Corps, and was
transferred to the aviation section by
Capt. William Mitchell, later famous as

Benjamin Franklin in 1888 wrote: Five
thousand balloons, capable of raising two
men each, could not cost more than five

who can afford so to cover his country
with troops for its defense as that 10000
men descending from the clouds might
not in many places do an infinite deal of
mischief before force could be brought
together to repel them?"
There Is nothing new except what is
forgotten, so the saying goes, and Ger
tainly it applies to the case of air
borne troops.
On the 10th of May, 1910, and the
