PAGE EIGHTEEN Mase AVIATORS IN DARING FLIGHTS DEFY DEATH tt a ® THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, BE Many are the stories of dar- ing aerial combats as well as equally reckless and foolish "stunts" performed in the air that are coming to this country every week from the great war centres and aviation training schools of Europe. Among the kpectacular air combats was that in which Robert Mesinger, a noted German air pilot, met death. According to the Frank- furter Zeitung, the German had shot. down four 'of the allied aviators before he met his own fate. During the fight one of the allied aviators aeroplanes canght fire, and the latter, real- izing that he was unable to es- cape death, rammed Mesinger's machine with the result that both aviators fell to the earth from a great height. The tor pedoplane, invented by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Tiske. U. B. N., retired, has appealed to the German aviators to the extent that they have adopted or appropriated it, and by clever work have demonstrated that the American naval aerial forces will find it a useful in- strument with which to invade German naval and submarine bases, to say nothing of sinking merchant ships, as shown in upper photo. oJ wr 3 Quality First 1 SPICE DROPS, CREAM ROLLS, LEMON MARGUER- AT PRESIDENTS, GINGER er CAKES.
