Bob Thorpe Sky Fighter In The Lafayette Flying Corps PDF Download

Excerpt from Bob Thorpe: Sky Fighter in Italy And now they were getting back into the game again! Back where a fellow could spear a squarehead, if he felt so inclined. Those six weeks in the interior had seemed long. The news that they had been awarded commis sions as Captains in the American army had come to them one night at Verdun, when they had been celebrating Bob's Hundred thousand dollar bon fire of German airplanes and hangars. The re gret they felt at leaving the French pilots with whom they had done so much fighting was made easier by the thought that they would soon be in the uniforms of their own country. And it was a great day for them when they arrived in Paris to be sworn in for dubr as captains in the United States Air Service; a great day when they had put on their new uniforms, and Sam Browne belts, and pinned their medals to khaki jackets.
