AIRMAN'S PARCEL RUSE.
I I hear '(writes Mr Hamilton Fyfe. jn the "Daily Mail") a capital story fl one of our pilots, who was disgusted j by the refusal of the German pilots accept combat. He flew over an aerodrome quite low and dropped a parce-. Then he flew up into the clouds. A few minutes later he swooped down, and, as he expected, saw a number 01 Germans examining the parcel. H-j let two bombs fall and fired 100 cartridges >nlo them before he flew awav. What they found in the parcel was' a pair of boots, and with them this note: "If you won't come up here and fight, herewith one pair of boors | for work on the ground."
