German Stories Regarding Allied
Planes Refuted By Experience
Storiep. originating undoubtedly
from German sources that Amer ican
and British pilots and observers of
ten lose their lives on account of
the faulty mechanism and defective
workmanship of their aeroplanes are
refuted by high officia's of the Brit
ish Air Force, and' the British Bu
reau of information iu New York
Citv today made public the follow
ing story which well illustrates the
amouut of truth in these statements.
A British pilot hid just succeeded
In bringing-down a German FoKker
oiplaae, when he was «itt;Uked sim
ultaneously by several other Ger
man machines which poured in a
concentrated fire. In order to es
cape from this hail of oul.ets, the
pilot put his machine into u spin,
and, having shaken off his assail
ants, flew home. When he had»
safely landed his machine, it was
discovered that the main spars of
all four planes had been shot thru.
a$ w«U as Doth longeions. and in ad
ditlon a bullet had lodged in one
of the magnetos. How the machine,
un^er such conditions, stood the
strain of the downward spin and the
Jiomeward flight is a marvel, but it
is obvious that the smallest piece
o' taul!y workmanship or material
would certainly have involved the to
tai loss of both aeropaaile and Pi'
lot.
Another incident, only cut' of
many Just received dir-'ct from
the battle woe, is bv means excep
tional, but, on the lontraiy, is
thoroughly typical of the Hoy:'! Air
■Force routine n the front every day
during the German withdrawal.
A British two-seater ma hine
wbils* on patrol observed a party of
50 German Infantry. Diving swift
ly the pilot released two !\.>int>s be
fore the Huns had ti»'e to disperse,
wit* the result that about o" of the
party nere knocked out, the st,i"
vivo.-s scattering wi!t>!y in all di
rections.
Continuing the pat o a: d i'lyins
low, the British • I; in. men next
sighted an ammunition column,
iu'o which they fired 200 rounds
from their machine sun . causing
manv casualties ad si nip.din. the
remainder. ofi:i ha\Jrg -omo ammu
