AULL, EDITOR, Fridav, May 31, 1918. i =? 1: AIR FIGHTING. s ? ? i 1 We did not get to hear Captain ] Campbell at the Chautauqua but we 1 did hear him talk a little to a group |' in the drug store the next day, and we J bought a copy of his book and read it. J i i We presume that much of what he ; said in his lecture is contained in his ( books. It is a very interesting story j ifa.t he relates, and not a story 1111 the sense that it is faction, but a re-! ^ ' c cital of experiences which ihakes a ;,, really interesting narrative, and w?> i I mention it merely to say that we have \ 1 not yet been able to conceive just i t how it is possible to magage a ma- i 2 chine in the air as he says they do, i and we do not doubt, but the whole a thing is just miraculous to us. It is : S just marvelous. How they manage to ] see anything at all and to take pic- I tures traveling 50 and 100 miles an" ? hour, and how they manage to shoot t and handle a gun and the machine < all at the same time. And sometimes : ^12,000 and more feet above the ground 1 and away above the clouds, but when i one conies to undejstand how to do < the thing it must be very interesting t and fascinating. And how it is pos- ^ sible to fall eight or ten thousand 1 feet in one of those bis* machines 1 when it becomes disabled and not be i 1 crushed is beyond our understanding, j i And yet this same man who lectured i < here has performed all these feats '< and still lives. He has been shot t through the lungs in one of them and j fallen to the ground in No Man's Land I and lay buried in a shell hole for; hours. No wonder that he should talk : c about the importance of having these ! 1 airships made of the very best mat- 1 terial and in the very best manner,! i and as we understood -his con versa- j < tion he was criticizing just a little j 2 some of the work done on airplanes i c by some of the manufacturers in this ; e country, and we believe that is ono | c thing the government is now investU ! d omfi-nor Tnat oo Tic. coirl fha man rvr i n V UUC UO VUV vr. ^ W ;H ?
