Suddenly something happens; the machine is seen to fall and the pilot is killed. Experts come to examine the aircraft, but it is wrecked so completely that little which is reliable can be gathered from any inspection; while the man who could explain what has happened the pilot of the machine is dead. The statements of eyewitnesses, when taken on such occasions, are often misleading.
"We must and we shall win!" he kept repeating. Through a rubber disk held to his ear in the closet of his bedroom a voice, tremulous with nervous fatigue, was giving Lanstron news that all his aircraft and cavalry and spies could not have gained; news worth more than a score of regiments; news fresh from the lips of the chief of staff of the enemy.
And you might have to make it some time." "I'll see what we can do, at any rate," decided Dick. "We will probably never get a better chance than this. Come on, boys!

The Allies, of course, possess maps of every sector of the enemy's front, so that by reference to these maps the aircraft observer can send back word as to almost the precise location of the battery which it is desired to destroy. Quickly tapping out word where the battery was located, Tom awaited developments, circling around the spot in his machine.
