Hairbreadth Escapes In the Aerial Service Are Matters of Every- day Occurrence. An officer of the Royal Canadian Flying Corps tells the following story: â€" There were one hundred of us â€" fifty on a side â€" but we turned the heavens into a hell, up in the air there, more terrible than ten thousand devils could have made running ram- pant in the pit. The sky blazed and crackled with bursting time bombs, and the machine guns spitted out their steel venom, while underneath us hung what seem- ed like a net of fire, where shells from the Archies, vainly trying to reach us, were bursting. We had gone out early in the morn- ing, fifty of us, from the Royal Can- adian Flying Corps barracks, back of the lines, when the sun was low and my courage lower, to bomb the Prus- sian trenches before the infantry should attack. Our machines were stretched out across a flat tableland. Here and i there in little groups the pilots were receiving instructions from their com- mander and consulting maps and pho- tographs. At last we all climbed into our ma- chines. All along the line engines be- gan to roar and sputter. Here was a 300 h.p. Rolls-Royce, with a mighty, throbbing voice; over there a |10,000 Larone rotary engine vying with the others in making a noise. Then there were the little fellows, humming and spitting, the "vipers" or "maggots," as they are known in the service. At last the squadron commander took his place in his machine and rose with a whirr. The rest of us rose and circled round, getting our formation. Over No Man's Land. Crack!
