MANY TYPES OF AIRPLANES Reservation la Divided Into Nina Sec tions, Through Which Men Advanct to Proficiency Three Branehee el Aviation for Warfare: Chase and Combat Work, Bombardment, and Reconnolstance. The American flying enmp I the largest In France ond la aald to be prcuter than any other In the ivorld. A flying field of fin square miles, the area of nn Amcrlcnn townxlilp, with nine separate, flying Melds on wbleti Ainerliuu aviators advance to the stage of flight combatants, end air plane Liberty, NleuporU. C:;pronls, mid all the other, with officer, In strnctnrs, nnd newly cqiil,;ed nvln tor swelling our squadrons each niotithlhee were oini of the main feature of HiIh vnt aviation Rronnd. A the Associated Pre correspond ent entered one of the field a Mg gray machine row. from n nearby field with a loud, droning nole. "There Rue n Liberty nlrplnne," nld one of the officer. It was one of the IncreiiHlnif number now coinlnc. and every flight wn wutched with keeiv el Interest nnd Rrowlnit entlinslnsm by thote who will put It to the n preme text on the flubtlng front. Only one opinion wn heard among; these nien-itbnt It wn the blBKefct and fast est machine of them nil. GrruipH of nvlutoiK were lined np a we arrived, preparatory to tnklnn the air. Ther were stocky, young men. llko two football eleven about to take the field. The flylnir ground stretched off for mile nine Meld of fonr square mile each all clean-cut stubble field on which the machine could land without tibock. Above them circled many plane, singly, nnd in squadron :lrwn out like wild eom. looping and diving and all the evolution of flight, with group of acrobatic planes over to the right making headlong spirals, wing slip nnd revernements. Barracks Form a City. In the foregronnd rose a city of bar rflckn, one-story pine shack W0 feet long not very highly nrnamentnl, but very practical. Fully a thousand of these barrack had risen on this level plain to house the army of flying men on the way to the ruthtlng line. We went from Held to field to note ?ncli stage In llio development of en al lot iivlntlon. Generally speaking, It wn explained, there are three distinct branches of thl aviation warfare :hnse ond combat work, In which most Jf the fighting occur: bombardment jf enemy forces, camp nnd towns; mil scouting or reconnolssance work Tor purpose of onservatlon of enemy jctlvltle. It la for combat nnd bom bardment thnt the training Is done Sere, nnd of those going forward monthly about four-fifth are combat int and one-fifth bombardment pilots. "These nre the 'grasshopper,' " said :he captain n we came to field No. 1, a here the Initial groundwork ond the ry of flight heglnR. The griiRshoppers were diminutive machines with Just ?nough horsepower to Jump over the fround, nnd occnRlonnlly rise ten feet. The men cnll them taxis. They were 'kipping nbont singly nnd In squads. Two were having a race across the plain, nnd one taking a dive burled Its nose in the ground. This was the cir rus part of flying, at the start, but there was plenty of very' practical work beside with motor Instruction, gunnery, trap shooting, rifle rnnge nnd ninchlne gnn firing. Smnll dummy air plane dotted the field aa targets, and the hounding grasshoppers took their "hots nnd were rated by the watching Instructors. On the second field the aviators had left their grasshoppers nnd were In a double-control machine accompanied hy an Instructor. They were getting the "feel" of the machine In actual flight, and If the rudder was not ma nipulated deftly the Instructor was there to make the correction. And It was necessary here to learn how to come down as well as to go up, and to come down nt-a definite nolnt. Smnll numbered flags marked the land ing 'point of each machine. The captain of field "So. 3 was about to step Into the "Flying Dragon," one of the most cnrlons machines of the fleet, for besides being a very fleet, IB-meter car. It was famous for Its dragon body, with flaming scales and tentacles and great red eyes. Here on this field the aviators entered single-control mnchlnes, without an In structor, nnd for the first time took their own risks. Tricky Type of Machine. On field 4 It began to develop wheth er the aviator could qualify as a com bat nlrmnn, or for bombardment or scout observation. He waa now In a fast rutichlne with a large wing sur fnce, and used for high air maneuver ing, lie was being accustomed to all Ijpls tf nmclilnea. There waa a fleet uf one of those strange types drawn Kim COCKIER 8cros the plain. Their chief nov-1 elty wn In having ball bearing on all 1 their mechanism, giving a bitir-trlg-ger response to the slightest touch. I'rogreM I rapid now that It la vl- oent what a flyer can do. lie enter a very fast machine at No. 3. with in. meter wing capable of making 120 mite nn hour. Home of the men drop out of the training at thl point, aa It ha become evident that they lack the deftne or get fnlnt at the height or the beat of the motor. The ret go on to field No. 6, where they begin pursuit work and some of the early since of acrobatic nose dive and slips. "There Is nothing freakish about these acrobatics," said the officer, "for they are one of the most essential parts of combat aviation. To be a chne and pursuit pilot one must be able to ont-mnnenver the enemy avla tor to make quick turns under fire nnd get above your adversary or on his tail. One of the other will be out maneuvered, and the enemy la very skillful at acrobatics, and he must be beaten at his own game." Lieut. Quentln Itoowevslt was' In commond of field No. 7 while he was here, and his machine stood In the hnngnr with a group of fliers about It, paying tribute to the splendid quali ties nnd daring of their late leader. nn i the field on which formation flying 1 begun, In squadrons up to 18 machines, but unually with five. The sqnndron flies In V-shape, with the commander at the: apex of the V, car rying a atreamer which signals the commands. A fleet of 13 machines waa started as we passed, and an other had Jut come In after two honrs In the nlr, ending with a figure eight, a difficult evolution executed by "cross ing the controls" so that the rudder serves as elevator and the elevator serves as rudder. Camera Like a Gun. On the combat and acrobatic fields, Nos. 8 and 0, scores of machines were In the nlr going through their fighting evolution or dipping and looping. The combat airplanes carried camera gti is, a novel device comhlnlng a dummy ma chine gun and a photographic camera. It look like a gun, but as the trigger Is pulled the camera takes a picture of the target, showing Just what would have been hit If a shot Instead of a lens had blnr.ed ahead. It wns over the acrobatic field that the real wonders were going on. In the vertical vlrage spirals and wing slips. Spectacular as these seemed to be. each hod Its use In the fighting game. The "vriile" is thnt dizzy head first tumble, and the chief thing Is not to do It but to undo It and come out of it. It has It uses, too. In de ceiving the enemy Into the belief that the aviator ha lieen hit nnd Is tum bling, then as the enemy Is off guard, attacking him suddenly as the aviator come out of his headlong dive. One of the flyers made four vrllles as we watched. "It Is dangerous only when near the ground," said the escort "High In the air there Is comparatively no danger, for there Is plenty of time to set your levers so that you're sure to come out of the vriile." Others were doing the spiral, an other form of head-first dive, except that the car Is always under control, whereas In the vriile the control is lost until the aviator succeeds In emerging from his fall. Often the machine seemed to stop suddenly, turn over, and then glide away In the oppo site direction right 'side up. One of the best maneuvers for es cape from a dangerous fight Is the' vertical wlng-sllp, as It Is the fnstest means of losing altitude and getting below nn unequal combat. When an acrobatic maneuver misses or Is badly done It Is a "pancake" or a "barrel." There Is as much lingo to the aviation field as there Is to the baseball dia mond. Leaving the field we passed a crip pled aviator limping on crutches. "He .has had 21 crashes," said the officer, "which Is about the record. But he goes back every time and he's eager now to get In his machine again. And that Is the spirit of every man here, to be ready for combat and to beat the Boche."
