Bogart Rogers who wrote on military life in war time. _ Jerry never saw them - and before the rest couid come to the rescue - Jerry was tumbling down in flames. It was a soft assignment, soft that is for Air Corps men during WWI. Perhaps too soft, for the devil-may-care crew in their planes forgot to pay enough at- tention to the course of events, and they paid for this lapse when, suddenly, just three miles from their base a dozen “Fok- Hers” appeared from nowhere.

But later in the morning he collapsed - suddenly, unexpect- edly and completely. His nerves snapped with the twang of a broken flying wire and they were forced to send him home for a long rest. It was a tough break they said, and the place wouldn't be the same without little "Gee Whig" - but, after all, "C'eat la guerre”, and he had nobody to blame but himself. Why in "H'"" didn't he watch his tail? Any guy who let himself be caught napping couldn't get sore if they mot him down.
