yet to the reader in a humdrum
sphere far removed from the scene
of the great war, the narrative
seems unreal.
Bishop and his fellows regard
air fighting as a game. They shot
down airplanes much as a sports
man shoots day pigeons. Only at
night would Bishop realize that
when he brought down an enemy
plane he snuffed out a human life.
Often, then, this thought would
keep hm awake. This is signifi
cant as showing that the great
aces of the Allied air fleet have not
become hardened and remorseless.
The late Charley Barrett was a
true and loyal friend to Weston,
and his passing is mourned by such

true and loyal to their own community.
