The only way to destroy the bridge was for an airman to swoop down and drop an exceptionally powerful bomb upon it. "There were twenty-four flyers with that division of the German army. A volunteer was asked for, it being first announced that the required task meant sure death to the man undertaking it. "Every one of the twenty-four stepped forward without hesitation. Lots were quickly drawn.
Some birds are very skillful at this kind of sailing, and can even remain stationary in the air for some minutes when there is a strong wind; and they do this without flapping their wings at all. It is a difficult thing to do, and no birds except the most skillful flyers can manage it.
Paul then brought in the ladder, laughing nervously, and released Grandpa, who had not relished his part of the proceedings in the least, to judge from his excited chattering, most of which was bestowed upon the rescued man. One of the first questions our flyers asked of Oliver Torrey, after they had helped him remove his wet clothing, was: "Where are your friends?"
He worried himself into a headache over the difficulties of transporting it unharmed over the miles of untracked desert country to Sinkhole. He was afraid the mules would run away with it, or upset it somehow. It looked so fragile, so easily broken. Already the tail was broken, where the flyers in landing had swerved against a rock.
They exist plentifully at no great distance judged as such strong flyers judge distance; and if they found that they were unmolested they would soon come back from the extremities of the land. But even more remarkable than the list of birds driven away is the list of those creatures, birds and animals, which have stood their ground in spite of traps, guns, and dogs.
"Perhaps these blessed gentlemen they are high flyers there is no doubt about that, have struck the clever idea of calling themselves generals, governors, etc., in order to enjoy a certain prestige and to give a certain color of legality to their acts this, although they don't know an iota of what they are doing.
And the school team aren't such a lot of flyers that you can afford to go chucking people out of it whenever you want to. See what I mean?" "You and Jackson seem to have fixed it all up between you." "What are you going to do? Kick us out?" "No." "Good. I thought you'd see it was no good making a beastly row. We'll play for the school all right.
A board of officers whitewashed the Canadian flyers of the Royal Air Force and the incident was closed. Of course all the accidents did not happen to Americans. During the winter on the Railroad, a sad one happened to a fine British officer. A brooding enlisted man of the American medical corps went insane one dark night and craftily securing a rifle held up the first Englishman he found.
A couple of German airplanes were being shelled by some of our anti-aircraft guns, and as we watched the numerous shell-bursts, apparently close to the planes, we expected, every moment, to see the flyers come tumbling down. However, none was hit and they went on their way.
He cocked an eye at the half-shut door. Now you have only to be reminded that it is the habit of the sportive gentleman of easy life, bewildered as he would otherwise be by the tricks, twists, and windings of the hunted sex, to parcel out fair women into classes; and some are flyers and some are runners; these birds are wild on the wing, those exposed their bosoms to the shot.
