To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The delicately penciled lines had not yet frayed out in the wind. I went on down in a steep spiral, guiding myself by them, and seeing nothing. At the point where they ended, I re-dressed and put on my motor. My altime- ter registered two thousand metres. By a curi- ous chance, while searching the empty sky, I saw a live shell passing through the air. It was just at the second when it reached the top of its trajectory and started to fall. "Lord!" I thought, "I have seen a shell, and yet I can't... find my patrol!" While coming down I had given no attention to my direction. I had lost twenty-five hun- dred metres in height. The trenches were now plainly visible, and the brown strip of sterile country where they lay was vastly broader. Several times I felt the concussion of shell ex- plosions, my machine being lifted and then dropped gently with an uneasy motion. Con- stantly searching the air, I gave no thought to my position with reference to the lines, nor to the possibility of anti-aircraft lire.
