AMERICAN AIRMAN TELLS OF FIGHTING EXPERIENCES A Committers on Publie Informa. tion representatives in London says! There are no batter sportsmen in the world than the allied airmen, and American aviators now fighting in Europe always play a fair game, 88 they learn it from the allies. F. P. Magoun, a former Harvard student, now a member of the Royal alr foroe, recently wounded, tells how the lives of the German observers escaping from balloons have been spared. “ We caught three Hun balloons above the allied grounds in & mist, which prevented their gunners seelog ua’, said be. * It wap a cinch. You should have seen them hustle ou! their parachutes and abandon the bal- loons. As they came falling down through the a'r we cireled about close ly but, of course, didu’t open fire, as that is against the rules of the game, As soon as they touched ground they took cover like rabbite,’” Magoun | his squadron, having joined in Febru ary of last year. He has bagged five German planes, While carrylog bombs for low attack in tive recent of- fensive he received a bullet through hia left arm, but managed to return to his own lind, Msgoun tells of a companion in his rqu.dron who had one of the luckiest escapes during the war.
