Then he made a memoranda of it in his pocket cash-book, and sighed again. Several times after this Lieutenant Larson had to have more money or, at least, he said he needed it, and Uncle Ezra brought it forth with many sighs and groans. But he "gave up." To give Larson credit, he had really produced a good aircraft.
But the Allies now have in commission on the Western Front such an enormous number of aircraft I think I have said elsewhere the French alone probably have close to seven thousand machines and they have made such great improvements in their anti-aircraft guns that to-day it is a comparatively rare thing to see a German flier over territory held by the Allies.
In an article published shortly after his appearance before the Senate Committee, the Admiral summarized in a popular way his views as to the possibility of meeting the submarine menace with aircraft, and what the United States might do in that respect.
Tom added some improvements to the aircraft, making it better than ever, and when she was given the test required by the government, she was an unqualified success, and the rights to the Mars were purchased for a large sum. In sailing, and in the matter of guns and bombs, Tom's craft answered every test.

Though the dangers of flying are considerably increased by darkness, the French believe this is more than compensated for by the fact that, being comparatively safe from attack by enemy aircraft or from the fire of anti-aircraft guns, the raiders can fly at a much lower altitude and consequently have a much better chance of hitting their targets.
As with the Army, an important part of naval aircraft duties was spotting for gunfire; and likewise single-seater fighters were required for the protection of our own aircraft, for preventing enemy aircraft reconnaissance, for attacking the enemy's fleet and protecting our own. The use of offensive patrols steadily increased during the war. Bombing.
Great tongues of flame licked up heavenward as if trying to reach the aircraft that had hurled the destruction down upon the seething hives. A dull boom told of an explosion, and the air rocked with the disturbance. Hundreds of pounds of high explosive fell on Essen that night.
"I informed them that we had arrived safely," said Captain Grantly to Colonel Masterly, "and they have informed me that we are to remain here until further notice, instructing your cadets in the use of the aircraft." "And we are very glad to have you here," replied the commandant of Kentfield. "If you will come with me I will assign you to quarters."
