BEADY FOB RAID

WITH THE AMERICAN IN FRAN
| CE, Oct., (Conespwi.u iuc- »»
I The Associated Press)— Picture a
I dozen huge airplanes standing in rows
of three or four, their engines roar
ing and propellers whirling like mad,
imagine the rat- tat- tat of a dozen
machine -guns being tested at tar
gets and shouts of aviators and mech
1 anics and you have an accurate first
impression of the scene on the field ot
| an American bombing squadron about
to start for German territory.
Over the broad sloping field border
ed by low trees, half a dozen other
airplanes are wheelin' in the sunny
| sky. The sun’s rays are glinting from
their wings and the colors of their
insignia flash brightly as they turn
and twist.
A score or more of aviators perspir
ing in Arctic furs, fur-lined helmet.;
and boots hasten here and there while
men in soiled and greasy khaki cling
to the wings of the airplanes tugging
to be free.
Nestling in the border of trees are
tiny bungalow huts covered with
branches or canvas to conceal them
from prying enemy aviators. Half a
dozen grotesquely camouflaged han
gars are scattered about the field.
The airplanes of this squadron av°
not quite the fantastically painted ma
chines used by most of the pursuit
pilots, hut they are still rathei talei
doscopic and each bears the numer
ously conceived insignia of a red col
ored devil within his nose sarcustieal
*.y downward - toward the Hoche un
derneath.
With one of the observers, The As
sociated Press correspondent inspect
ed the machines, now laden with
bombs. The observer explained the in
tricate system of releasing each bomb
in turn by means of trips, and at such
instants as his desired goal appeared
beneath him through an opening in
the floor of his little cubby hole in the
rear of the plare.
He called attention with pride to
the tiny Iron Crosses on the wings
and fuselage of each airplane - mak
ing spots where shrapnel and tnach
ne - gun bullets have tom perilously
near to the pilot observer or both, and
where the repaid have been made by
mechanics who are jealously proud ot
the little insigna of narrow escapes.
One of the machines bore more tha/
twenty such crosses in one small parr
.of the fuselage between pilot and ob
server alone, and the conductor said
with a laugh that it was great luck
that no vital part of the machine had
been hit.
He told, nonchalantly and with mo
i desty, of nurrow escapes he and his
fellow obsei-vers and pilots had had.
One man had been fairly raised off
! his seat by a piece of shell that had
I penetrated the airplane from beneath.
Another hud been wounded in feet and
logs by shrupnel that ontor<*<l the fu
selage. He could have told such an
ecdotes for hours, hut a signal from
the commander of the squardron an
nounced that it was nearly time to
1 start .
