rear machines should the leading machines be attacked.

Formation flying requires a great deal of practice and the ability to keep formation is an essential part of every pliot's education. To keep one's posi- tion in a formation requires careful nursing of one's engine. Though every engine and aeroplane in a formation are of the same type and horsepower. in practice it will be found that continual, throttling down and accelerating are necessary. In learning to By in Formation the pupils are told that the leader will fly at a fixed speed per hour, but in war of coured this varies with necessity. The pilot who fails to keep his place is a danger to himself and his Fellows. and if he struggles he will be pounced upon by the enemy and his plight may induce others to break away from the formation,

Though one's natural instinct would be to go to the assistance of a pilot in distress. it is the duty of the other members of the formation to y straight on unless the Squadron Leader should order otherwise.

While l'am telling you of forma tion flying I should like to impress on you the importance of close flying. A formation of skilled pilots will fly,. practically wing tip to wing tip. One span between machines is quite suf- ficient distance apart, and the forma- tion that keeps that interval has gone hali way, towards winning any serial combat that it may undertake.

The single-seater Scouts form the cavalry of the air and their duties in the air are very similar to those of the It would perhaps be as well to our cavalry on the ground: It is their line the various types of aircraft which particular function to carry the war have proved their efficiency during the into the enemy's country.
