The airman esteems height even, the sailor esteems deep-water with .m ample freeboard, and for similar «a.or\ every ; 1,000 feet .of average aeroplane can glide a distance of ablut a mile, so that a P^ h f °2 engine fails at a height of 10,000, feet, is safe, for a ten mile journey m any dl Therefore he has a eirclo,of country 20 miles in diameter, and near> 315 square miles in areairom 'Avhich to cfioose a suitable landing ground. Compare this .with the idea of engine failure at 1,000 feet, or worse stall, a tew hundred feet; and you win see why. airmen ear "safety -ini height". „^„„ In flying at home, height may mean all the difference between a "Crash and a perfect landing, ■• on active service it may mean the difference between death or capture by the enemy, and landing safely behind your own "irt aerial fighting the value of height is even greater, for the man who finds himself even a -few hundred feet -above., an opponent has a, reserve of'diving power which canr be used to ■ deadly ad-■ !'■ vantage. The latest type of British I "chaser" can be dived at a rate of over 200 miles an hour, and the Hun. pi-ot 'who suddenly looks up arid sees one of these terrible hawks hoyenng above" his head, almost invariably attempts '■*« dive and lanid behind his own .line before the fatal swoop comes. - Height again is very necessary when) crossing the lines, or in the vicinity of the enemy's anti-aircraft barrage, tor although hits are not unknown at great heights, the really, effective jange of "Archy" is well short of high altitudes. .' . -. „ Height means a wider area of vision : for the observer, an important point in reconnaissance, at. sea where valuable information as to the enemy a dispositions in ships'etc., may. be obtainled on a clear day from an immense distance, if a machine can operate at a sufficiently great altitude. . It is true;that visibility of detail isdecreased by height, but thanks to recent"developments of the British aerial camera this is not so important as it .was at the beginning of the war. As to the physical effects upon the air- [ men of flying at great heights,, these can be to* a large extent neutralised by I the use of special .clothing and oxygen. IMP CARBON CHASER.
