On June 16, with his friend, Quentin Roosevelt, hejoined the 94th Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group, at the front at Toul. On July 7 he wrote: I got a Boche to-day, or rather Jim Meissner and I together got one. . . .Four of us attacked a single biplace Rumpler and we all peppered awaywithout result for several minutes. He was fighting for his life and gave usall a good fight! Suddenly it occurred to me that it would be much more tothe point to get under his tail where I should be out of range from his reargun and at the same time have a chance to soak some of the shots intohim at close range; as I did so, Jim Meissner appeared. The other two ofour group had jammed and left the scrap. We both shot at the Boche, anda scond later, great hot, red flames burst out from beneath his fuselage.I shall never forget the sensation of seeing a stream of flaming tracer bul-lets from my guns sink into its body and almost instantly flames burstingout as we dove at great speed through the air. ( 62 J</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>HAMILTON COOLIDGE On Sept. 27 he shot up a German supply train, himself flying-alone four times up and down the hapless column. Then came fourvictories together. He wrote: On Oct. 21 picked up a Halberstadt biplace fighter over the lines. My gunsjammed after about 50 rounds, but I kept manoeuvring with him to keephim occupied till help arrived. Help did arrive in the form of seven more ofmy companions! We cut the old boy off from their lines and started drivinghim home. But one of the boys growing impatient, put a few incendiariesinto him and brought him down in flames. . . . The next day, Oct. 3, twoof us attacked enemy balloons ten kilometres behind their lines at 4.35p.m. I hardly had time to think of Archie-fire and streams of machine-gunbullets that flew by, as I dove on my balloon. I could see my incendiariespour into the old gas-bag and the observer jump out in his parachute. Afew seconds later the flames burst out and down it went. . . .
