Exciting Aerial Combats Are Told of

About Week’s Duration

Instances Illustrating Recklessness of

Find Positions Are Told
BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Jan. 4. — Stories of daring
escapades of British aviators, excit
ing aerial combats from which the
air-fighters escaped alive seemingly
only by miracle and of brilliantly exe
cuted raids upon German aerodromes
and troops behind the German lines
are narrated in the reports of the
Royal Flying Corps covering the acti
vities of about one week. Hair-rais
ing incidents of fierce conflicts above
the clouds or low over the German
communication lines are described in
these succinct reports without bom
bast, as though these narrow escapes
from death were commonplace and
all in the day’s work of the air-fight
er.
For example, there was the case of
a British aviation officer, who, when
nearly a mile above the earth, was
attacked by two enemy aircraft. He
shot down one of them out of control
nut was himself wounded and fainted
while still high in tho air. Recover
ing consc cusness he found his n.-v’h
ino aprhle down at an elevation of
t.OCU leet with one enemy aircraft
s‘ ;11 firing at him. The Britisher, i
however, managed after a stmggle to
right his machine and lawl safely.
In a somewhat similar instance, a
Geiman scout attacked a British aii
plitfie carrying a pilot and observer.
One of tin* German’s bullets passed
threut h the gasoline tank of the Brit
ish airplane and seriously wounded
the mint. The British obse ver, how-j
e.wv, pumped a full doub’e drum of j
bull»*ts at the enemy :c6ut at very I
close quarters and the German wor.t
to ;he ground with a crash.
Meanwhile the British pilot had
faint*'■: and fallen <\the steer
ing “stick” in such j fashion as to
throw the airplane '..to a spin. The
British observer climbed over the side
and forward along the plane to the
!>» ••*. ^ cockpit, lift*.! the pilot to his
seat, and still standing on the wing
of the plane released the steeling
gear, brought the machine out of the
spin and safely to the ground.
Two British officers were reluming
from an expedition over the enemy’s
lines to locate hostile batteries when
their machine was hit by anti-aircraft
lire and the engine damaged. Vol-;
planing, the machine landed “»00 yards j
from the British lines, the airplane;
turned over and the aviators were!
hurled out on the German side of a|
canal. Running along the beach un-j
dor heavy fire from rifles and mach-l
ine guns, the aviators dived into the
canal only to find it full of barbed
wire, but managed to reach the Brit
ish lines in safety.
Many instances illustrating the
reckless daring of the British aviators
sent over the German lines to obtain
information, destroy aerodromes and
harry the German resrves are con
tained in the official narratives. One
pilot who crossed the lines at Ypres,
threw off two attacking machines,
bombed the Houle aerodrome near
Lille and was lired upon by two ma
chine guns. He dived at one of them,
firing with both guns of the British •
airplane, drove the Germans from
their guns, fired upon the aerodrome j
again, attacked and scattered a col-1
umn of 200 Gorman infantrymen onj
the road A German two-seater air
plane was circling 500 feet above him
for an attack. “I zoomed up under
its tail and fired into it,” writes the
British aviator. “It crashed down on
to the railway.”
Another British pilot had fired a
hundred rounds on German troops on
the march when he was interrupted
by two enemy airplanes. He attacked
them and drove both down and then
finished the job of driving the Ger
man infantry into the trenches and
shell holes.
Flying at the height of 200 feet ai
British aviator engaged in a revolver:
duel with two German officers in a
motor and while doing so ran into
some lines of telegraph wires but for
tunately his machine cut them. A
few minutes later he attacked Ger
man infantry which escaped his gunj
only by diving into a pond.
