My fourteen months at the front; an American boy's baptism of fire . FOURTEEN MONTHS AT THE FRONT down toward the ground, big flares arelighted so as to enable the aviator to pickhis spot for landing. The whole thing isscientifically arranged, and there are notmany accidents in this part of the work. One of the most daring parts of the airwork is the dropping of spies behind theenemys lines. I believe this goes on on bothsides, and in many cases is successful. Thesecond time I was going on leave to EnglandI had made arrangements to go with one ofour fellows from the Flying Corps. We wereto start on a Monday morning, and on theFriday before he told me that he was goingto make his last flight before going to England, on the following morning, Saturday. He started out at 4 oclock Saturdaymorning with a man and a crate of carrierpigeons in his machine, and he had orders todrop both behind the German lines and returnto his headquarters as quickly as possible.

The anti-aircraft gun was practically un-known before the beginning of this war, andthere is an enormous chance for improvementin this branch of aerial warfare. It is veryinteresting to watch an anti-aircraft gun inaction, for one can see the gun fired and thensee the shell burst a few seconds later. So far as I know there is no accurate wayof finding the range of an aeroplane in motion.The popular way of shooting at a flying ma-chine seems to be that of firing shells in alarge circle, using the machine as the center, and then closing in until the aeroplane isdead in line.
