Letter to Parents. The text of his irteresting letter follows: “T am a pilot. “Two days ago I finished my last brevet test, and now I have my ‘wings and my R. M. A. | “On my last two voyages I had quite exciting times. On both days it was very cloudy and windy and ! flew through cloud after cloud, be- ing tossed about like a feather until I was almost exhausted. _ “On the last leg of my last voyage :I wetn into a big cloud at 1000 me- and around, trying to find where I ‘was on the map but couldn’t. Then So I spiraled down to a tower alt!- tude, picked out a good field to land in and landed. ‘Then I found I was just 25 kilo- meters from camp, but nearly out of gasoline. Meanwhile the entire pop- 'ulace of a little village came run- ning out to see the airplane land— kids by the dozen, women and men —and then I had my first taste of fame. “They all crowded about me, the kids wild with excitement. I can imagine how frantic I should have been at 10 or 12 years of age, had an aviator landed near me. Had Lunch With Mayor. “First, I sought out the Mayor of the town, and asked him to appoint a. guard for my.machine. He picked out an old man who produced, mys teriously from somewhere, a huge brass plate containing the words ‘Deputie Special,’ and a club, and, hanging the plate around his neck by a huge belt, he marched pompou. ly around my machine, shooing off the inquisitive kids. He had the time of his life. I walked to town, fol-| lowed by a ‘million’ kids, more or less, and telephoned to camp fcr more gasoline. “While waiting for the ‘gas’ I had lunch on the Mayor and the rest of the village who gathered aroun the little cafe and jabbered French at me so fast I was dazed. “In due time a motor truck arrived with the ‘gas,’ and I started off for home. I had located myself after landing and got home in 10 minutes. “On the other voyage I was turned completely around in going through a big cloud and found myself going back the way I started. “These voyages are very interest- ing, and one learns more about fly- irg on them than at any other part of the course of instruction. Describes Flights. “The grand voyages are called tri- angles. You land at a certain town, | register at the airdrome, have your | ‘papers of voyage’ signed by the of- ficer in charge, and continue on to the next point. I wrote you of my two ‘petits voyage.’ “Then the last thing I finished was the altitude test. On this I had to reach a height of 2000 meters (about 6600 feet) amd fly at that level for an hour. I got as high as 3100 meters for a while, the highest I have ever flown. It was also cloudy on this day, but there was one | little patch of blue sky in the clouds, | so I kept circling up in it. On the way up I went through a blinding Snowstorm at 1500 meters, with strong winds blowing in all direc- tions. They tossed me about, but I soon got above the snow, and could see it whirling around below me. “At 2000 meters the world looks round. It’s a queer sensation, for, ‘cathe you bank your machine over, it does not feel as if the machine | was banking; it feels as though the | world was sliding up to meet you. _It was very cold at this altitude. and I had to keep beating my hands on | my knees to warm them, although | I had on three pairs of gloves, paper, | woolen and leather gauntlets. After | Staying there an hour I started down. | Tells of “Stunts” in Air. | “Here I did a few stunts. First | I did a wing-slip and dropped 600) | meters (about 2000 feet) straight | down with it. Then I did an Immel- | man turn, or ‘renversment,’ as it is |called in French. Then I tried to |loop, but the machine got straight ‘up in the air, instead of falling over ‘in a loop, it slipped off in a second | wing-slip. | “Then I spiraled down in a tight | spiral, and finally brought her down |in the field and landed. I could ‘hardly hear anything for an hour after landing. That was the end. I had finished. “I have had 26 hours 30 minutes of flying. Now I am staying here for a week. Because of the big of- fensive in progress now the army | won't let us use the trains for ‘per- | missions,’ as all the cars are needed | ee the front. So I am staying here for my week. That is better than ‘nothing. “When my week is up I shall go to the advance flying school, where 'we fly the faster machines used at the front, and complete a large and involved acrobratic course, and one in aerial machine gunnery, bomb- dropping, ete. “T hear that school is rather over- crowded now, so it may be some time before I get on the flying list there; but the course, once you get Started, takes a much shorter time taught to fly; when we go there we “It feels darn good to have fin- | ished and have won the wings I’ve fact, I think all of the flyers here nearest local SUNDAY newspapers, / longed for so much.
