caption 1: This squadron's acrodrome was once a grocery wagon; later seventy-two flyers dwelt there in perfect
safety, for it was so well painted to match the landscape that it was invisible to enemy observers

way that it will travel a limited |
distance and then gently drop to |
earth. A message isthenwrittenand
attached to the pigeon balloonist,
who when released flies swiftly home
caption 3: Pencil and paper
having been tied
to the breast feath-
ers of these airmen,
they were ready for
their day's work
caption 4: With a pigeon in a
cage on his back,
ready to dash forth
in search of his
master, who is lost
caption 5: If you whisper an address
into a pigeon's ear, you
can’t expect him to go
there; he is only taught to
fly home. Send him by
down at the right spot
