Another glance would show one of them suspended bottom up, falling sidewise, tipped vertically on a wing, standing on its tail, as though being blown about by the wind, out of all control. It is only in the air, when moving with them, that one can really appreciate the variety and grace of movement of a flock of high-powered avions de chasse. I was close to Talbott as we reached the cloud-bank.
Women were not left entirely alone to fight the battle and many men besides those mentioned assisted and encouraged. The Maryland Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage was organized in Baltimore in 1911, opening its first headquarters in North Charles Street with Mrs. N. C. Talbott as executive secretary. Later there was some organization in the counties.
The two patrols of protection left the field exactly on schedule time. At 10.35, Irving, Drew, and I were strapped in our machines, waiting, with our motors turning ralenti, for Talbott's signal to start. He was romping with Whiskey. "Atta boy, Whiskey! Eat 'em up! Atta ole lion!" As a squadron leader Talbott has many virtues, but the most important of them all is his casualness.
I shall hear Talbott shouting, "Rendezvous two thousand over field. If get lost better home." J. B. will rush up smoking the cork end of a cigarette. "I've just had the adventure of my life!" And Miller, sitting on an essence-case, will have lost none of his old conviction. "Oh, man! you were fruit salad! Fruit salad, I tell you! I could have speared you with my eyes shut!"
The near combat had been seen by both Talbott and Porter. At luncheon we both came in for our share of ragging. "You should have seen them following us down!" said Porter; "like two old rheumatics going into the subway. We saw them both when we were taking height again. The scrap was all over hours before, and they were still a thousand metres away." "You want to dive vertically.
The long winter term the term which Madeline Talbott, whose father was a judge, called "the extreme penalty" began. Boston's famous east winds, so welcome in summer and so raw and penetrating in winter, brought their usual allowance of snow and sleet, and the walks from Pinckney Street to the school and back were not always pleasant. Mrs.
I ought to have gone back to the balloons as Talbott advised, but thought it would be easy to pick you up later, so went on alone after I had got some height. Crossed the lines at thirty-five hundred metres, and finally got up to four thousand, which was the best I could do with my rebuilt engine. The Huns started shelling, but there were only a few of them that barked.
He has something on his mind. Presently he turns to Lieutenant Talbott. "May I say a few words to your squadron?" "Certainly," says Talbott, glancing at us uneasily. Mr.
We thought our aeroplane clocks convenient pieces of equipment rather than necessary ones. I remember coming down from my first air battle and the breathless account I gave of it at the bureau, breathless and vague. Lieutenant Talbott listened quietly, making out the compte rendu as I talked.
"Are there any remarks?" said Talbott, as if he had been reading the minutes at a debating-club meeting. "Yes," said J. B. "When is the umteenth of June?" "Ah, mon vieux! that's the question. The commandant knows, and he isn't telling. Any other little thing?" I suggested that we would like to know which of us was to be number 1. "That's right. Drew, how would you like to be the first rocketeer?"
