    Fighting the Flying Circus
    by Eddie Rickenbacker
    German squadron commanded by the famous Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen.

    upon land

    chapter 18 of fighting the flying circus this librivox recording is in the public domain recording by brett downey fighting the flying circus by captain eddie rickenbacker chapter 18 strafing the draken observation balloons or draken as the bosch call them constitute a most valuable method of espionage upon the movements of an enemy and at the same time are a most tempting bait to pilots of the opposing fighting squadrons they are huge in size forming an elongated sausage some 200 feet in length and perhaps 50 feet in diameter they hang swinging in the sky at a low elevation some 2000 feet or under and are prevented from making any rapid movements of escape from airplane attack by reason of the long cable which attaches them to their mother truck on the highway below these trucks which attend the balloons are of the ordinary size a three-ton motor truck which steers and travels quite like any big lorry one meets on the streets on the truck bed is fastened a winch which lets out the cable to any desired length in case of an attack by shell fire the truck simply runs up the road a short distance without drawing down the balloon when it is observed that the enemy gunners have again calculated its range another move is made perhaps back to a point near its former position large as is its bulk and as favorable and steady a target as it must present to the enemy gunners three miles away it is seldom indeed that a hit from bursting shrapnel is recorded these balloons are placed along the lines some two miles back of the front line trenches from his elevated perch 2000 feet above ground the observer can study the ground and pick up every detail over a radius of 10 miles on every side clamped over his ears are telephone receivers with his telescope to his eye he observes and talks to the officers on the truck below him they in turn inform him of any special object about which information is desired if our battery is firing upon a certain enemy position the observer watches for the dropping of the shells and corrects the faults in aim if a certain roadway is being dug up by our artillery the observer notifies the battery when sufficient damage has been done to render that road impassable observation balloons are thus a constant menace to contemplated movements of forces and considered as a factor of warfare they are of immense importance every 15 or 20 miles along the front both sides station their balloons and when one chances to be shot down by an enemy airplane another immediately runs up to take its place shelling by artillery fire being so ineffective it naturally occurs to every airplane pilot that such a huge and unwieldy target must be easy to destroy from the air their cost is many times greater than the value of an airplane they cannot fight back with any hope of success all that seems to be required is a sudden dash by a swift fighting airplane a few shots with flaming bullets and the big gas bag burst into flames what could be more simple i had been victorious over five or six enemy airplanes at this time and had never received a wound in return this balloon business puzzled me and i was determined to solve the mystery attending their continued service in the face of so many hostile airplanes flying constantly in their vicinity accordingly i lay awake many nights pondering the stories i had heard about attacking these drakken planning just how i should dive in and let them have a quick burst shear off and climb away from their machine gun fire hang about for another dive and continue these tactics until a sure hit could be obtained i would talk this plan over with several of my pilots and after working out all the details we would try it on perhaps we could make 94 squadron famous for its destruction of enemy balloons there must be some way to do it provided...

    section six of dear mabel this is the librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org dear mabel by edward streeter section six dear mabel i would have wrote sooner but i've had such a cold i couldn't say nothing for most a week well maybe we ate all the food like the cook said but we ain't in france yet i guess he ain't got as many brains as he said he had everyone is sore at him because we didn't kick at none of his food for more than a week thinking that when we'd ate it all we'd go away he thinks it's funny and says do you guys think this war is a coke's tour i hate fellas what tries to get out of things by being smart everything's covered with mud including me i seem to attract mud like i was a maggot mabel yesterday i spent all the afternoon shining up for the guard so as to be the colonel's orderly then i stepped out of the tent and flewy the sergeant says smith don't you know enough not to go on guard looking like that i even got mud in my hair max glucose says when he combs his it's like raking out a garden from what i've seen of him though i don't see how he found out

    it's pouring rain an awful cold it's so cold that the toothpaste rolls right off in your brush in the morning the captain has a cold in his nose he says he won't take the man out in such bad weather as today pay nothing against him mabel but i hope he has a cold all winter there's a hole in the tent over my cot when the water comes through on me i put a slicker over me last night the water made puddles in it then when i turned over they spilt out into my shoes this had me guessing mabel till finally i put on max glucose's shoes there instead of mine angus mckenzie had so many holes over his cot that looked like one of those safety fire sprinklers he got up last night and rigged his shelter so it's half the water hit it and run down into the next cot he's a bright fellow angus even if he is a foreigner the other day he had some medicine for a cold it says on the bottle that i was 17 alcohol he drank the whole thing right down so nobody couldn't get a hold of him i mean i'm awful sick but he says that's because he is used to it for such a long time me and him is going down next week to put in a stack of tonics it's awful hard to write letters mabel somebody's always falling over your feet or dragging something right over the paper if you've got it caught near the door like mine is and when you get going finally at about the fourth try some sergeant always comes in with a list and makes you check out something sometimes i go over to the ymca mabel but as soon as you get right in a bald headed fellow jumps up and says now fellows will all sing all the fellas watch right and looks up and says ah one thing in another i don't know who the bald headed fellow is they got one in every ymca they all look about alike i guess there's a regular issue there's always a bunch of fellas who don't seem to know why they came and they all started seeing it then i can't write no more do nothing so i come home and go to bed independent that's me all over mabel most of the taxis are swallowed up in the mud there's only two or three running now only the big strong fellas can get to town the cook says it's the old theory of the arrival of the fittest but i guess you don't know nothing about science mabel when i go to town i wrap my blouse in a newspaper if they know you're going they give you a list of things to get that looks like a chinese message to congress the time you go to come home you got so many bundles you look like one of those fellows in the funny papers everyone stands in the square looking for a hat rack waiting for the three taxis to come along when they see one they rush it like they do in the movies when the millionaire's cars run...
