I Bits of comedy are to be found
with the talcs of tragedy. One pilot
' tells how he landed on top of a Jack j
i rabbit. Another tells of colliding
with an eagle in midair.
Another relates how a dog at a
J landing field attempted to bite a
; hunk out of a whirling propellor.
The dog was Instantly beheaded, and
the head was hurled through the air
with such force that It struck an
other pilot standing nearby and
knocked him unconscious.
