AEROPLANE ADVENTURES By J.Armstrong Dhjexel III. The Physical Strain of Flight Copyright, 1911, by Henry M. Ncely. copyright in Groat Billaln and Canada. All rights reserved. MAN has Invented nothing that looks so graceful nnd so ensy ns au acroplnnt ln lllght Skimming overhead, with brond, outstretched wings nnd with no effort nppnrcnt ln any part, so fur as the beholders can see, the aviator Hlttlug culmly In hli sent seem ingly doing nothing bur. enjoying him self, this modern nlr craft looks to be tho very nemo of comfort, of case, of exhllarutlon. Yet a fov hours In tho nlr in an aero plano Is tho hardest day'H work thut any mau can do. What is thoro hard nbout it? What Is thoro for nn aviator to do or to en duro that should mako it comparable to labor? Tho man who races an au tomobile knows something of thin strain. Hut ho has only 0110 method of steering to cngago his attention. IIo tictids his machine to right or left ami that Is all thcro is to It. Tho aviator must constuntly bo in control of three sets of apparatus, and a mo mentary neglect of any ono of the tlirco means wreck. IIo must Btccr up and down, to right or left, and must keep hi horizontal balanco In the nlr. Three Kinds of Strain In Flyingr. Roughly, tho strain of flying can bo divided Into three klnds-tho physical, the mental nnd tho nervous. With tho man who attempts to break any of tho edga it makes tho machine rise on that side, and the mechanism at the samu time pulls up the rear edge of tho left plane, thus lessening tho Impact on thut Bide nnd cnuslug It to full. It Is ln this way that the uvlator controls his balance, warping his wings as ho dips one way or tho other nnd keeping hinisalf on nn even keel. After ho bus become thoroughly experienced he learns to balanco without wnrplng tin dar ordinary conditions, for It has been found thatBtocrlng tho machlno toward tho high Bide brings it again to the horizontal. Then ho uses the warping devices only ln emergencies. On this day nt Belmont pari: tho wind was nasty und gusty, and 1 was ln trouhlo nt tho very start. The ex tremely small breadth of the planes. I found, gave me practically no burl zontal mipport, nnd, though 1 kept steering llrst to ono side and then to the other us the machlno earcouo.l over dangerously, 1 found t!-at this simple method of righting my lialuine would not Htilltec. I had tit keep warp ing my wings to their utmost limit, and not for one moment did this tie cesslty cease. In tho seven laps ot tho course thut I made I cannot tell how many times I felt that I was turning over In tli." nlr. Almost momentarily I felt us though 1 must go ru'd:lng to the ground below, for try 1111 I did I could not get nn oven balance on the little planes for any length of time. It wus n totally new experience for me, nnd I regretted more than once Soma Difference.

I mean by that that whon a man's; brain becomes tired bis body becomes tired with It, and that when his nerves nro shatter ed his body and brain glvo way too. During tho trials ln tho Gordon Bennett cup race ut tho Belmont park meet, near New York, last October, I had had built for my Blcrlot a special Bet of racing wings. They were tho smallest surfaces It was possible to fly with oven nt tho maximum speed, and wero made with as llttlo span from tip to tip as was absolutely nec essary, bo that thoro should bo tho smallest concelrablo bead resistance when tho machlno was lu motion. On tho day when tho Gordon Bennett trials took placo I had had tbeso llttlo wings put on. I had never Down with them, but I knew that it would bo use less with tho regulation sized wings to try to compete ngaiust tho two 100 horsopower engines that wore entered liecause mine was only a fifty horse jiowcr. So X bad to trust to luck that everything would go right The Greatest Danger In Flying. la flying an acroplano tho greatest danger comes from tbo constant tend ency of tho machlno to tip over to ouo side or tho other. A gust of wind, a movement of the aviator's body any thing and everything tends to throw it off its balanco, nnd tho minute It he tins to tip downward on ono sido It Lust bo righted. There aro two ways of doing this. A mechanism is provided by which tho rear edges of tho ends of tho planes can bo pulled down a fow Inches, thus offering on that sido whero this depressing or "warping" Is done a greater Impact against tho air and consequently dovoloplng a greater lift ing power. When the right wing Is "warped" or pulled down at Its rear that I bad not got theso now planes ln tlmo to test them out nnd becomo uccustomed to their vagaries. Demoralised by the Strain. Tho mental and nervous strain of this flight was totally demoralizing. Thcro was not n moment of cortalnty In It, except tbo certainty of demoli tion if I relaxed my vlgllauco for tin instant, nnd w(th this thought upper most It was only natural that tlteiu should bo a reflex action that bad Its physical effect, and I found myself grusjjlng my steering post with suchu teusljjn that It became painful to tho linger tips. It was llko learning to fly all over ugaln, und 1 was tho sole representa tive of my native couutry In tho great est competition in tho history of uvlu tlon. My position might hnvo struck mo tin pathetic had it not been so dan gorous. For threo circuits of tho courso I fought that stubborn ueroplune. deter mined to conquer it uud to make as good a showing in tho result us possi ble. Then I felt tho strulu bcglu to tell on my nerves. I found myself warping whon there was no need for It. My arras Jump tho steering post about in n way that threatened de struction, nnd I fancied tho Blerlot was bucking when bIio wus on an oven keel. Again 1 went uround the course, hurtling through the ulr ut 11 speed thut would Jmvo left nothing but splin ters If I had struck tho grouud, uud again tho strulu of thoso unfamiliar nnd cantankerous llttlo wings Increas ed Its evil effects upon mind, body uud nerves. Hoou I found my bruin abso lutely refuslug to work, my nerves Jumping Uko mad nnd my arms, shoul ders, legs and back aching ns though I Imd been beaten with a club. Finally ' I came dowu thoroughly tired out ln every fnculiy. und almost unablo to wn)l:, though I did manage lo liroco myself up to pnss tho scrutiny of the onlookers nbout tho hangars. In this ense tho entire breakdown wis tho result of nervous strain. Yet Mjlng can Impose Rreat physical strain without reference to nerves or tnlud. Those who go ln for endurance rec ords nrc subject to this, and thoso of us who have mndo climbing for height a specialty know tho terrors of physi cal fntlguo which Is purely muscular, but which has tho mental und nerv ous element ndded to It. Strain of Endurance Flights. I hnvo seen men crawl down from their noroplnnea nfter n long flight and hnvo seen their friends rush up to them to shake hands In congratula tion for a noteworthy feat. And I hnvo seen tho hand dropped nt once, for It could not respond lo the grasp that was given It. There was no llfo In It. It hung limp. Inert, powc.iciainnd feollnglcsH from tho fntlguo of grip ping n lever with llttlo or no ehnugo of position for so long n tlmo. Yet endurance flights such as those made for the Mlehclln trophy nnd ptlze nro flown over good courses; clearly marked by pylons or posts, nnd nlmost Inviirliibly over good grounds tlmt provide safe lauding places nt any time. In this wny there is as lit-, tie ns possible of nervous und mental strain. Otherwise such flights as that of Henri Farman. who stnyed up over eight hours, would be Impossible When theso long flights nro tnado across country the nervo nnd mind en ter Into the equation ngaiust tho man. He faces uneven nnd probably broken land unfitted for a quick decent If nny thing goes wrong, and ho frequently flics across country Hint la unfamiliar to him, and that keeps him lu a mental uncertainty that uilds a great dqal to tho physical fatigue ho has to suffer. The Greatest Strain of All. Those of us who aro foolish enough lo climb for height hnvo all of theso torments lullultely multiplied, and, ndded to them, we face conditions tlnt are not met with in tho ordinary work closer to tho ground. To most people the strain of nltlttido climbing appears to bo only n matter of enduring tho rurcllcd nlr met with n couple of miles nbovo tho earth, but tho big torture comes with tho sudden descent with the rapid chnngo of pressures as wo drop 11 thousand feet it minute or more nnd this Is Indeed n lorturo long to bo remembered. In tho early days of my nltltudn climbing, when I sot tho world's rec ord at Lanark, Scotland. 1 kept light ing for each extra Inch as long ns there was any strength or onduranco left lu me. I struggled nt tho top un til It was useless to struggle any long er, nnd then, with nil my strpngth gone,, there was nothing for It btjt to fall back to earth with my neroplnno pointed us sharply toward tho earth as safety would allow. When tho Head Feels like Hunting. I came down IIUo n thunderbolt. As tho descent began tho pressure began to chnngo rapidly with my entering Into heavier and heavier strata of nlr, uud I begun to feel pains ln my head nnd enrs. Theso pains got worse with overy second of tho descent, nnd when I was within hailing distance of tho enrth I felt nB though somethlug, In sido my head would surely burst with the nvful tightening nbout my ours nnd tinnples. I can npprccluto now Hut tortures suffered by medlevnl mur tyrs who had haudrj of Iran gradually tightened nbout their heads. Tho rec ollection of that descent nt Lanark makes rno syinpnthlzo with them pro foundly. At Philadelphia last November I rose mora than 1J.O0O feet higher than nt Lannrk nnd I fell faster on my de iicunt to Pttrtli, but while my sufferings wero Intense they wero not so great ns lu Scotland, for I hurt been told of n method of counteracting the Increasing pressure und used It with grout suc cess. I hud shortly before this been talking to Clifford R. Harmon about rfomo of bis Imlloonlug experiences und Imd nsked him If ho had over HUffered during rapid descents ns I did at Lun nrk. "I did qulto frequently In my early days," snld Harmon, "but Captain Baldwin told mo n way to avoid It" "What Is that?" I nsked. "Swnllow-Bwallow constantly." said Ilurmou. So on this plunw fronTm clouds nbovo Philadelphia, when my nerves weio racked to pieces and my physi cal faculties wero utterly worn out. I suddenly thought of this scheme- when the pressure becumo painful on my ears, nnd tho relief was Immense. Effeot of an Hour In the Air, An nltltudo flight of this kind does not last long according to tho tlmo of tho watch. It seems ages, but my barograph record for my highest climb, 0.S07 feet, showed that It took mo Just about tlfty minutes to reach tho maxi mum altitude. It could not havo taken more than four or flvo minutes to do Bcend. but my plungo was so rapid that tho Ink could not flow fast enough from tho btylo of tho instrument to re cord, so I cannot tell exactly. Assuming that tho total flight from 1ho time of starting to tho tlmo of jindlng occupied 0110 hour, thopbyslcnl strulu of such work can bo lmuglned when I say that I started in fine condi tion, fresh uud feeling strong and equal to uuythlug, yet when I lauded In that empty Held at Oreland, fourtccu miles uwuy from my sturtlng point, I was so utterly worn out and helpless that 1 could not climb out of my machlno for beveral minutes. Tho next tlmo uny of my readers sees un neroplnno soaring gracefully uloft let him remember theso things and bo satisfied to stay comfortably on tho grouud until flying is mado a good deal easier and a vast deal safer than It Is toduy. 4'H(I vl ?WM Coos County, Ore -, iui, i, ux f-7 X l l.
