He kept making remarks like
that about the fellows in the air
all the time. He had us all
nervous before we went up.
When we finished flying he
lache all of us but Townsand,
who made a bad landing and
he wouldn't let him go. He said
"Thank you fellows for you
work. Lt. Spane said if I brought
you fellows out here tonight

left." There wasn't a wire broken,
or an axle bent in the whole
afternoon. A very good record.
