Like a Wasp on the Wing
Caption 1: Upside Down in Mid-Air. We used to marvel at the men who looped-the-loop in flying machines or slid down sideways or tail first, wondering what was the good of it all. The wildest acrobatic feats performed at flying-machine meetings before the war are now part and parcel of every fighter's tactical equipment. He must put himself in a favorable position and if necessary must loop-the-loop to do so.
Caption 2: In their new Alabatross destroyer, which is probably the fastest fighting machine on the western front, the Germans have copied the best features of the French and British fighting machines and have added improvements of their own. A stationary engine of 175 horse-power drives the Albatross through the air at the tremendous speed of over 130 miles an hour
