Not all war pilots will be suited to this work, which. it it is to be carried on with reasonable regularity, will fequires a high degree of skill in navigation. A limited number of pilots were employed en long-distance bombings, but of these only a proportion will be available. For the numerous seaside pleasure services that are pro- mised the pilots will need merely to be reliable; but no doubt the sense of res ponsibility on their part and on the part of their employers will prevent them taking unnecessary risks, com- Then we shall all be very happy.": mitting such cardinal errors as turning The Grand Duke did not dreani oft with insufficient speed near the ground, going abroad, but believed, in Prince or trespassing below, or beyond the safe voy and in Kerensky.
