extracted text (Extract Text): TRUSSED up in a vestlike
jacket and stowed away com-
fortably enough on a little shelf
just behind the pilots seat in the
airplane, this homing pigeon was
the aviator’s only means of send-
ing word back to head quarters. On
many occasions the pigeons carried
appeals for help from men whose
airplanes had fallen in the sea.
The perfecting of wireless, both
telegraphic and telephonic,
promises soon to end the romance
of the pigeon post.
