Jones brought me home on that neat little knock-about spad he's just bought.

He tried spads, but got wind up.

The walls bore lightly framed photographs of men famous in the annals of flying, from Santos-Dumont and the Wrights to Gruynemer and Nosworthy; also pictures of famous machinesthe Spad, Bristol Fighter, Sopwith Pup, 120-135, and others.
