Hard luck wasn't it when the great desire of every one was to get In the middle of the fray? "The 35th took over the assembly and test which was located then where field 5 is today. "I was put to work as a helper w ith a boy named Sweatmun, assembling a Nieuport type 21, Ha Ha! I shall never forget that first plane, for after we had it all set up I twisted a bolt About tho middle ot March the assem bly and tost department moved to what Is now the main Hold, and here wo stayed and most ot us are wondering how Um,r we are going to stay, "After two mouths with Basin, I was put to work by myself and up to about two months ago lining was all I did. In that time I taught several men to lino. I lined every type ot plane this center has used. After I cume back from Atxles Bains, 1 was given charge of tho "28" (Nieuport typo 28) when I got them all there is Is a bare body. When they are finished they are ready to fly. On an average It take a crew ot four men to assemble a machine. "The "28" Is the latest and fastest type put out by the Nieuport people and is one of the planes that tho U. 8. and France did such great work with In the last nine months. "The picture I sent you some time ago of myself In a plane was taken in a "2S." "I have a nico concrete hangar to myself and some twenty men working for me. Its nothing great I know, but I am pretty proud of my little Joint just tho same. "About the middle of June all the 801st except the sergeants moved to Held 2 to work leaving us again with a bunch of green men. In tho mean time we had hooked in a doxen differ ent outfits, but we had a happy home then. Imagine a bunch ot sergeants and chauffeurs with rooks and help enough to keep things dean and feed us we had a great time believe me, but It was all spoiled by the middle of Aug ust when we had to move up with the rest of the squadron. We still worked at the assembly though about six weeks ago we were attached to a com pany ot motor mechanics, so now there is 25 mostly old men running the fuasembly and test. Now that the war Is nearly over I can say I do not re gret the bit of experience I have had in the army. I have had perfect health all the time. "ARTHUR."

Five dollars goes to the Junior Red Cross which makes the Upper Highland school 100 per cent.

Before many days I was given a crew of my own and for two months I assembled Nieuport 17, 21, 27, 80, 81 and 83. Averaging a ma chine a day. You see besides assem bling these planes we had to break new men into the work as well, so you see the department was not only an assembly and test but a school for green men. "Every plane that is used by this center must pass through the A. O.T. department, whether It Is assembled here or flown in. When a machine is O. K. from this department every bolt and wire must be just so and the plane must fly just so, or in other words a plane is perfect when It leaves this field. About two thousand planes have been given the O. K. since this time last year. "About the first of March the 801st squadron came to take over the, de partment and the 35th took field J. Sunday morning, March 4th, we got orders to report to the 801st with equipment. The 801st were all green mcjn so it was necessary to keep a few old men in the department so all thoe who were in charge of crews or hang ars were transferred. Soon after the change I went to work with a French man, Bazin, to learn how to line up planes. To line up a plane you must set the wings at certain angles verti cally, laterally and horizontally at the same time have all cables the right tension. It is very easy when, you know how but is not so easy to learn.
