The airman does not talk of his work, and we knew that what we saw and heard of were but fragments in the silent records of great things done.

An airman at once volunteered to carry the wounded man to the nearest hospital, forty-four miles away across the desert, and by his action a life was saved.

In peace the airman sees this solid earth of ours as no one else sees it; and in war he makes acquaintance by day and night with all its new and strange aspects, amid every circumstance of danger and excitement, with death always at hand, his life staked, not only against the enemy and all his devices on land and above it, but against wind and cloud, against the treacheries of the very air itself.

In the midst of these conditions the fighting airman shoots, dodges, pursues, and dives, intent only on one thing, the destruction of his enemy, while the observer photographs, marks his map with every gun-emplacement, railway station, dump of food or ammunition, unconcerned by the flying shells or the strange dives and swoops of the machine.

The following day, at a point farther to the north, a well-known French airman was brought down and killed, in just such a fight.

Evidently they had not spotted our position, thanks to that Italian airman.

When it is considered that this incident occurred at a height of 16, feet, over hostile territory, and that during the airman's terribly precarious ride he was subject to antiaircraft fire, and liable to the attack of hostile scouts, it is not too much to say that his was a record achievement.

Recently, another airman was shot down, out of control, from 13, feet, and fell fluttering like a leaf, toward the ground.

Captain Boelke, Germany's greatest airman, was killed October 28 in a collision with another airplane during a battle on the western front.

Once an airman, and just by instinct as it were, the eyes are almost constantly searching the heavens, perhaps for a glimpse of other adventurous craft, or it may be, signs that give warning of treacherous winds, gathering storms, or similar things that must always be of intense interest to an aviator.

He had already proven beyond any doubt that he was a capable airman, even though he did have a crippled arm.

It seemed like a game of "conquer," which Andy remembered so well; where the rival aviator dared to go they must follow, or acknowledge his superiority as a bold airman, something neither of them felt like doing.

Whether the experienced airman in charge managed to stop that downward plunge before reaching the surface of the lake; or failing went to his death, was a matter that did not concern them now, since they had their own affairs to look after.

* LINES TO A HUN AIRMAN, WHO AROUSED THE DETACHMENT

What's Heidi doing with an airman?

Then suddenly the airman would turn his machine off in another direction, and the shells would fall wider than ever.

One's feelings were torn between admiration for the airman's daring and an unholy desire to see him fall.

"The airman will have seen the village knocked about, and if he knew that those last shells came from here he'll just conclude that yesterday's shooting missed us, and the gunners will have another whale at us this afternoon.

This is a claim that may certainly be made for An Airman's Outings (BLACKWOOD), especially just now when everything associated with aviation isI was about to say sur le tapis, but the phrase is hardly well chosenso conspicuously in the limelight.
