An even more interesting experience was a visit to the aviation meeting at Rheims, the first ever held in the world, and a most successful one. Yet the British Empire was hardly represented even by visitors. Such great filers as Curtis, Lefevre, Latham, Paulhan, Bleriot and Farman were all present. In the autumn I had a week's salmon-fishing at Garynahine in the Lews.
Instead, they bought what they wanted rather an impertinent thing to do, but, like most impertinences, thoroughly worth while. Their living-room was their own. Carl's bedroom was white and simple, though spotty with aviation medals and silver cups and monoplanes sketchily rendered in gold, and signed photographs of aviators.
Its location, being a military secret, was not disclosed. Meantime the troops were dispatched to training bases established for affording them the fullest scope to become familiar with trench operators. The bases also included aviation, artillery, and medical camps. Further tidings of them thenceforth came from the "American Training Camp in France," wherever that was.
He felt a sinking sensation as deadly as when he had his first fall at the aviation school. Kedzie dragged Jim away and paid violent attention to him all through dinner. Her sympathy was entirely for her poor Strathdene. She was afraid he would commit suicide or return to England without her, and she could not imagine how to get rid of Jim.
"Why, Joy Evans, I've already signed up for the aviation course. I wouldn't miss it for worlds." "Personally, I'd be content to stay on the ground," spoke Shirley. No one else spoke. Joy was staring at Kit. Then Bet turned to Kit and the western girl replied to her unspoken question: Kit's bright eyes and daring smile told that she was game to ride anything that could run or fly.
He was considerably older than his gifted chum and had seen pretty hot service flying in France while with Pershing's army in the Argonne. It was his knowledge of aviation in general that had caused Jack to pick him as his assistant when the Government decided to fight fire with fire, by pitting their own pilots and aircraft against those employed by the powerful combine of smuggling aces.
I hope nothing has happened, or that they'll strike hard, for poor Bud will be smashed, that's what!" Hugh laughed, for he was much better informed on all aviation topics than the other scout. "Oh! that's what they call volplaning," he hastened to say, while he watched the coming of the air craft with eagerness.
Six inches more of skirt and a few hairpins did it." "Well, I'll be hanged!" he kept reiterating. "Zoe grown up!" "Is it true you are going to try for the aviation? Ida Blair says you are." "Looks that way." "You're too old." "Well, then, I'll have to come down to earth. You and your mother have different ideas regarding my age. I'm rather dizzy about it this minute, myself.
Now the blasé chauffeur swung the car sharply to the left, past the aviation field, and so came to the wide-scattered settlement almost a colony which, hidden behind high, barb-wire-topped fences, carried on the many and complex activities of the partners' experiment station.
Briefly, then, on July 1, 1917, three months after the declaration of war, the number of officers had increased to 8,038 4,694 regulars, 3,344 reserves and the number of enlisted men to 171,133 128,666 regulars, 32,379 reserves, 10,088 National Naval Volunteers. The expansion of aviation in the navy has been of gratifying proportions and effectiveness.
