To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First ofall I mount an _avion de chasse_ and am supposed to shoot down Bochesor keep them away from over our lines. I do not do observation, orregulating of artillery fire. These are handled by escadrillesequipped with bigger machines. I mount at daybreak over the lines;stay at from 11, 000 to 15, 000 feet and wait for the sight of an enemyplane. It may be a bombardment machine, a regulator of fire, anobserver, or an _avion de chasse_ looking for me. Whatever she is Imake for her and manoeuvre ...for position. All the machines carrydifferent gun positions and one seeks the blind side. Having obtainedthe proper position one turns down or up, whichever the case may be, and, when within fifty yards, opens up with the machine gun. That ison the upper plane and it is sighted by a series of holes and crosswebs. As one is passing at a terrific rate there is not time for manyshots, so, unless wounded or one's machine is injured by the firsttry--for the enemy plane shoots, too--one tries it again and againuntil there's nothing doing or the other fellow is dropped.
