The Duke of Windsor, Coversor and Commander-in-Chief of the Bahama Islanda, is having a look around his capital—and enjoy- ing himself doing it.

His easy-going, democratic mannor has astonished the stiff littla "high society" islands.

The other day he dropped into the popular store which standa in the centre of Nassau and ordered tropical fabrics for three suits from a trembling salesman.

"Send them to Government House," he said casually.'

The same evening he received newspapermen with the Duchess by Fis side. fle shook hands cordially all round, told the reporters to "fire away" with questions, and authorised them to quote him directly.

A recent Air Ministry bulletin, announced that "after shooting down a raider, the Spitfire pilot was seen by observers on ground to perform a Victory roll."

No particular value was attach- ed to the performance and prob- ably some of those watching. from the ground "wished he wouldn't." It seemed that such "exuberance" was but a reckless courting of possible disaster.

It is understandable that the defeat of the enemy releases a tremendous amount of pent up emotions which pilots must feel, but that is not the whole reason for the airmen's "stunts", as they return to their base. Aero- batics, to give these feats their proper name, are of importance in the war to-day. They are in- deed far from being a mere out- Jet for suppressed emotions, but are a definite part of an airman's technique in air manoeuvres. In the course of their intensive training the I.A.F. pilots have to learn to perform all the usual evolutions with almost mechani- cal precision' long before they are considered sufficiently pro- ficient to be posted to opera- tional squadrons.

Skill in aerobatics is one of the modern fighters' principal defences. Dog-fights between individual planes resolve them- selves largely into a kind of aerial wrestling matches in |which each contestant struggles primarily to get for one moment into the position in which he can fire and not be fired at.
