AEROPLANE AMBULANCE WORK
Illustrative of what aeijonlanee can be called on to do in the way of ambulance work, the review "Paris .Medical" cites the following unusual exploit carried out by I'rench airmen. During the retreat of the. Serbian Army, which was carried uut under very trying circumstances, a group of I-'reuch flyers, which was attached to this army, succeeded in accomplishing a feat which is of rare occurrence. The airmen had at their disposal but a small number of two-plnce tl.yer.s, but were able to transport wounded soldiers to the extent of a dozen or more, working --between I'rizreml and lletrovitzn, and even as far as Vailonn. This was done under unusually hard conditions as concerns temperature, .state of the atmosphere and of the "round, and is of interest at least from the novelty of the proceeding.
