The two lines of white electric lamps have been switched off, for the drone of our engines has been heard high above the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z His engine held out and he safely regained his aerodrome, after having been reported missing by his comrades. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons On November 16, 1916, two junctions on the German lines of communication were bombed, and railways and aerodromes were attacked with bombs and machine-gun fire by day and night. The Story of the Great War, Volume VI (of VIII) History of the European War from Official Sources He circled over them to let me plot the pin-point position on the map and sketch the aerodrome and its surroundings. Cavalry of the Clouds At one of the aerodromes a hangar was completely burned, and a Gotha machine which was in the act of rising from the ground was seen to crash.

It stops the turn with the sight well to the right of the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z On the 8th sixteen British aeroplanes bombed a German stores depot at Miraumont, in the Somme district, and the aerodrome at Hervilly. The Story of the Great War, Volume IV (of 8) Champagne, Artois, Grodno; Fall of Nish; Caucasus; Mesopotamia; Development of Air Strategy; United States and the War It was claimed then that recent aerial attacks on the Turkish aerodrome at El Arish had had the effect of compelling the Turks to move their machines and hangars from that place. The Story of the Great War, Volume VI (of VIII) History of the European War from Official Sources I dressed to the thunderous accompaniment of the guns, warmed myself with a cup of hot cocoa, donned flying kit, and hurried to the aerodrome. Cavalry of the Clouds The targets chiefly attacked were the aerodromes south of Ghent and west of Tournai used by the German night flying machines, and other aerodromes in the neighborhood of Courtrai.

The worst is, I can't see the beastly aerodrome till we are almost on top of it, and then I can't get a decent 'run'. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z A few days later a fleet of eighty-four French aeroplanes made a raid on the German lines, starting from an aerodrome near Nancy.

Right ahead of us is the pale shape of the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Whilst the aerodromes were changing almost daily, the officers carried on reconnaissance, sometimes starting out not knowing whether their aerodrome would be in British or enemy hands by the time they should return. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force The modern aerodromes, or schools of flight, at which a pupil receives his tuition, have been evolved rapidly from the humblest of beginnings. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners He is almost near enough for some shooting, when the Huns dive steeply, with the evident intention of landing on a near-by aerodrome. Cavalry of the Clouds Another German aeroplane, making the 17th accounted for during the day, in addition to those driven down out of control, landed near one of the British aerodromes, and its occupants were also taken prisoners.

What a silly end to a raid, it seems, to lose yourself right over your own aerodrome! 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z It would seem advisable, he says, when camped in an open aerodrome to park the aeroplanes inside a laager formed by lorries and cars. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force First there is the question of the aerodrome on which, and above which, the pupil will undergo his instruction. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners We landed less than three-quarters of an hour after we had left the aerodrome in a hurry. Cavalry of the Clouds On the night of February 17-18, 1918, further bombing raids were carried out against German aerodromes south of Ghent and west of Tournai as well as against many of the German billets. The Story of the Great War, Volume VII (of VIII) American Food and Ships; Palestine; Italy invaded; Great German Offensive; Americans in Picardy; Americans on the Marne; Foch's Counteroffensive. Before dawn we drove back to our own aerodrome, and went to bed. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The wind was judged to be too tempestuous for flying, and the flights were limited to a few short circuits round the aerodrome in the afternoon. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force The best position for an aerodrome is in a valley, not abrupt but gently sloping. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners From this town our aerodrome shows up plainly towards the south-west. Cavalry of the Clouds It was just as well I was not caught here, for now I have reason to believe that I was close to an important aerodrome, and that this was a guard—possibly against espionage. 'Brother Bosch', an Airman's Escape from Germany I have my celluloid map-case with its coastwise map on one side, and on the other the more detailed map of the district round the aerodrome which we are to bomb. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Meantime a new aerodrome was being made, with sheds complete, at Netheravon, for the use of the squadron. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force It is a convenience again if, either on the aerodrome itself or immediately adjacent, there is a canteen or restaurant where meals and other refreshments can be obtained. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners For ten minutes he continues the attempt to catch up, but as the only aeroplanes to be seen are coming up from an enemy aerodrome he decides to get back alone as quickly as possible. Cavalry of the Clouds A Flying Corps officer then took me in a car to an aerodrome, and told me I should have lunch with the officers at the chateau, where they were quartered. 'Brother Bosch', an Airman's Escape from Germany If I do not alter the direction I shall not be over the aerodrome when the time has come to drop the bombs. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Waiting about on an aerodrome has spoilt more pilots than everything else put together. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Dressing-rooms and reading rooms, when provided by the proprietors of a school, add to the comfort of the novice while he is in attendance on the aerodrome. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Bordering a wood to the west is an aerodrome. Cavalry of the Clouds For weeks we had been standing by for this raid in particular, the object of which was to bomb Douai aerodrome. 'Brother Bosch', an Airman's Escape from Germany A wave of noise sweeps over to us from the middle of the aerodrome as the next ahead, gathering speed, rushes across the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z B.E.'s of No. 2 Squadron were blowing across the aerodrome, and when daylight arrived and the storm abated, the aerodrome presented a pitiful sight. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force It is very necessary for the pupil to spend as much time as he can on the aerodrome. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners We returned to the aerodrome where hostile craft were first sighted. Cavalry of the Clouds Our buildings and grounds, right in the heart of London, were most conspicuous; and, besides, Regent's Park was not without its military importance, for in it were kept the aerodrome stores. Through St. Dunstan's to Light Two months after my crash eight hundred bombs were dropped in two nights on Condekerque aerodrome, and it was so badly damaged that it was abandoned. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The protection of machines from accidents like this became comparatively easy when the line of battle was stabilized and fixed aerodromes were made. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force It was pitch dark when we arrived at the aerodrome, but the morning promised to be favourable. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners It was curious that no activity could be noticed on enemy aerodromes. Cavalry of the Clouds Within half an hour of our arrival at the aerodrome we were already in the air sailing gaily southward towards Lympne, near Folkestone, where we had to report previous to crossing the Channel. The Stretton Street Affair Every eye is fixed intently on it as it draws nearer and nearer the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The next day the newspapers published long accounts of the exhibition flying over the aerodrome, with a single line at the end recording that 'military airmen also flew'. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Off we started across the aerodrome, the monoplane gaining a speed of 40 or 50 miles an hour. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Arrived at the aerodrome, we visited the hut inhabited by the Squadron Commander, who wore pyjamas and a smile of welcome. Cavalry of the Clouds Gradually I got control of myself and tried to find the aerodrome we had just left; it was nowhere to be seen. Night Bombing with the Bedouins The cold heartless beam of the aerodrome searchlight lies parallel to the ground, splitting the darkness in the surmised direction of the disaster. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z But no usage, however authoritative, can withstand the tide of popular fashion; the machine is now an aeroplane, while aerodrome is the name given to the flying-ground from which it starts. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Confused by the fog, which still hung over the aerodrome, I had misjudged our position. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners When last I heard of him he was at Dovstone aerodrome, teaching his elders how to fly. Cavalry of the Clouds Small yellow squares or oblongs with minute black marks represent the enemy aerodromes and hangars. Night Bombing with the Bedouins In the middle of the aerodrome shine the lights of the landing T of electric-light bulbs laid across the grass. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Lastly, when the war came, the Brooklands aerodrome, with all its flyable machines, was taken over by the military authorities, and the days of ease and innocence were ended. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Now, having got the machine into position for a return trip across the aerodrome, I accelerated the engine, and we started off back. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners On the afternoon of September 14 all the officers of our aerodrome were summoned to an empty shed. Cavalry of the Clouds These conventional signs correspond accurately to the aerial photographs of these aerodromes. Night Bombing with the Bedouins Out from the aerodrome are being wheeled the Handley-Page machines, and I hurry through my task of synchronising the watches. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z In some of these places regular aerodromes were available, in others a landing-ground had to be improvised. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Nothing worse happened, however, and he was able to pilot his machine in safety to the aerodrome. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners At early dawn a pilot and his observer left their beds, walked through the rain to the aerodrome, and sneaked to the flight shed. Cavalry of the Clouds On the third wall of the map-room are aerial photographs of enemy aerodromes, railway stations, sidings, etc., and large-scale plans of German towns and factories. Night Bombing with the Bedouins Swiftly we leave the desolate loneliness of war behind, and welcome is the thought of the trim camp at the aerodrome with its flower-decked mess and fire-lit cabins. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z This information was at once telephoned from the aerodrome at Senlis to General Headquarters. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Away above the aerodrome, and beyond its limits, in a strange, erratic flight, the biplane made its way. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners New machines call at Saint Gregoire before passing to the service of aerodromes, and in its workshops machines damaged but repairable are made fit for further service. Cavalry of the Clouds The answer received, the machine taxies across the aerodrome to the starting-point, turns, hurtles down the flare-path and leaves the ground at the head of the "T." Night Bombing with the Bedouins The last German machine has long since landed in his distant aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The first German machine to be seen by the British appeared over the aerodrome at Maubeuge on the 22nd of August. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force This pupil, breaking the rules of a school, flew out on one of his first flights beyond the limits of the aerodrome, disappearing indeed from the view of those near the sheds. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Last autumn, whenever the weather kept scout machines from their patrols but was not too bad for joy-flying, he would fly near the aerodrome and practise his pet manœuvres for hours at a time. Cavalry of the Clouds The first aeroplane to reach this height passes directly over the aerodrome and then steers a course to the first lighthouse. Night Bombing with the Bedouins Heavily muffled and coated I go out on to the dark aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z At Pezarches, about a mile away, a field was chosen for an aerodrome. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Not far from the aerodrome lay a main road, with tramway-lines along it. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners We circle the aerodrome, waiting for a sixth bus, but nobody is sent to join us. Cavalry of the Clouds They head straight for this, and when over it they steer a course which will bring them to the lighthouse situated near their aerodrome. Night Bombing with the Bedouins Soon south of Ghent we move, and see to our right the landing lights of the huge Gotha aerodrome of Gontrode. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z At half-past nine in the morning the four machines were lined up on the western side of the aerodrome to undergo engine tests and bomb-release tests. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Presently, after swerves and wanderings over the surrounding country, he was discerned making his way back towards the aerodrome, still flying unreasonably low. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners We wrap ourselves in flying kit and cross the road to the aerodrome. Cavalry of the Clouds After gaining their height above the aerodrome, Jock and his navigation officer steered a direct course for "D" lighthouse, situated north of Barcarat and but a few miles from the front-line trenches. Night Bombing with the Bedouins There is little movement in the crowd of watchers on the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z If Eastchurch was the earliest centre of scientific experiment and practical training in aviation, it was at the great Brooklands aerodrome that flying first became popular. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Some trees bordered one end of the aerodrome; and towards these, as though he meant to finish his exploit by charging into them, the novice was seen to be steering an undeviating course. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Not far west of these defence works were two troublesome aerodromes at Bertincourt and Velu, both of which places have since been captured. Cavalry of the Clouds He curved about at the end, somewhat afraid of his ability to turn, but having all the air there was to make the turn in, and headed back toward the aerodrome. The Trail of the Hawk A Comedy of the Seriousness of Life To add to the uneasiness a white mist begins to creep over the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z In the same year he had his revenge on Brooklands, for the new manager, Major Lindsay Lloyd, saw the possibilities of aviation, and converted the centre of the track into an aerodrome. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Then he landed on the aerodrome and climbed in leisurely fashion from his machine—"not having turned a hair," as the saying goes. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners An experimental factory, rich in theory, was established, and near it was laid out an aerodrome for the more practical work. Cavalry of the Clouds It sounded exactly like a great aerodrome far in the distance, with a score or more of planes tuning up. Edge of the Jungle There are more people standing on the aerodrome looking towards the east in silence. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Indeed, he adds, at the aerodrome itself there were almost more police than public to witness what was a great event in the history of flight. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force His flying experience of course helped him, and he soon found himself passing to and fro above the aerodrome, the biplane well in hand. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners We flew once more over a countryside of multi-coloured crops and fantastic woods, and so to the aerodrome. Cavalry of the Clouds Norman looked at him a few moments and then got up and motioned him out of the aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland I return to the aerodrome and, meeting another friend, walk back across the field. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The work of these pioneers can best be concisely described in connexion with the various centres, or aerodromes, where they gathered together to put their ideas to the test of practice. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force One sweep it made sideways, falling till it was not far short of the surface of the aerodrome. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Four black-crossed aeroplanes are flying over their aerodrome at a height of some two thousand feet. Cavalry of the Clouds This work under way, Norman and Roy, assisted by Paul, undertook to construct a rough but adequate aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland The pallid bird turns slightly and passes over our heads, photographing the vicinity of our aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z As he drove to Hendon along the Edgware road he noticed that the people on their way to the aerodrome were mostly French. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force In this second swing, the machine being near the ground, it came in contact with the surface of the aerodrome before the "slip" had time to develop any high rate of speed. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Next you will find most of the squadron officers at the aerodrome, seated in deck-chairs and warmed by an early autumn sun. Cavalry of the Clouds When, escorted by ample police, the aeroplane had been wheeled into the aerodrome, the two boys immediately closed the doors and the officers dispersed the onlookers. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland I poke my head through the bottom of the machine again and see the position of the aerodrome a good deal nearer. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z They also saw an aerodrome just east of Louvain with seven machines on the ground. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Having held his machine firmly on its glide, till it is quite near the surface of the aerodrome, the pupil has next to think of making a neat contact with the ground. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners The drizzle continued until after sundown, and our only occupations throughout the day were to wade from mess to aerodrome, aerodrome to mess, and to overhaul in detail machines, maps, guns, and consciences. Cavalry of the Clouds It was the old story of over-enthusiastic amateur assistants who persisted in giving unsolicited aid when the airship was being taken from the aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland Just before it arrives over the aerodrome I press the white light button deliberately. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z A sunken road running east and west past the aerodrome was occupied, rifles and ammunition were served out to the mechanics, and machine-guns were set in position. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force The public could not realise how rapidly the number of airmen had grown; that practically every day, at aerodromes scattered over Europe, flights were so frequent that they were becoming a commonplace. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners About a dozen Hun machines were rising from aerodromes at Passementerie, away to the left, but if they were after us the attempt to reach our height in time was futile. Cavalry of the Clouds While Norman explained something about himself and his companion the three young men made their way back to the aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland You did jolly well; they went right across the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z These machines remained at Ostend, pegged down under the lee of the sand dunes, while Squadron Commander Gerrard went by road to Antwerp to find an aerodrome and to arrange for the proposed raid. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force In one case an aviator, struggling back towards the aerodrome with a motor which was not giving its power, found that it stopped suddenly when he was not far from a wood. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners The pilots ran their engines once more, and the observers exchanged information about items such as Hun aerodromes and the number of railway stations at each large town. Cavalry of the Clouds Elated and nervous, the boys turned and, as if under a hypnotic spell, began to push the car into the aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland A machine which has just left the aerodrome passes a few hundred feet overhead with a roar and a rush. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Antwerp was being bombarded, the panic-stricken retreat of the population had begun, but the Naval Air Service stuck to its aerodrome, and carried out the first notable air-raid of the war. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force Steering the machine away across the aerodrome, and flying at a low elevation, he approached a belt of woods. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners The approximate position of railway junctions and stations, aerodromes, factories, and depôts should be familiar to him, so that he can without difficulty spot any new feature. Cavalry of the Clouds To warn their friends of their arrival, the boys threw on their searchlight, and the arrival back of the aerodrome was unmarked, except by the vociferous welcome accorded by the alarmed occupants of the camp. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland I stood up and ran to the aerodrome, stumbling across the sand-dunes and the tufts of dry grass. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z These raids were what may be called short-distance raids, aimed at the aerodromes, munition stores, and communications of the German forces on the western front. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force And so it is to flights from point to point, generally between neighbouring aerodromes, that he next devotes himself. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners The bombing craft are responsible for onslaughts on railways, supply depôts, garrison towns, headquarters, aerodromes, and chance targets. Cavalry of the Clouds This episode not only afforded a welcome change in meat 160 which, as Colonel Howell had predicted, could not be told from tender beef, but it sadly interfered with the work on the aerodrome. On the Edge of the Arctic or, An Aeroplane in Snowland The bomb-sights are in line with the aerodrome, but we are swinging rapidly to the left. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z To help the army from fixed aerodromes behind the line of battle was a dangerous and gallant affair, but it was not difficult. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force He may prefer, in his early flights, to remain above the aerodrome while he is gaining altitude, watching his height recorder from moment to moment so as to note his progress upward. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners The trenches are now passed, and our aerodrome is quite near. Cavalry of the Clouds Corps H.Q. is on the east side of the aerodrome, while our camp at W. Beach is on the other. The Incomparable 29th and the "River Clyde" Beneath were the four white flares of the aerodrome and the little space of lit-up ground with an occasional gleam of light near the long line of hangars which I could see faintly below me. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Sea-going vessels had to be constructed or adapted to carry seaplanes or aeroplanes and to serve as a floating and travelling aerodrome. The War in the Air; Vol. 1 The Part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force New aerodromes must come into existence also; not only to act as alighting points for touring craft, but to provide grounds for the training of pupils; and at these aerodromes pilots will be needed. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Thousands of machines have since been tested on the rough-grassed aerodrome, while the neighbouring Royal Aircraft Factory has continued to produce designs, ideas, aeroplanes, engines, and aircraft accessories. Cavalry of the Clouds Twenty-six shells were fired this morning at several aeroplanes that had landed on our aerodrome. The Incomparable 29th and the "River Clyde" On and on we flew, and then we saw the lights of our own aerodrome far ahead. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z It was not, however, until the beginning of 1915 that special bombing raids were started by the Royal Flying Corps, one of the first places to be attacked being the Ghistelles aerodrome in West Flanders. Aviation in Peace and War At the aerodromes, too, there are openings which present themselves; as, for example, in the management of a flying school. Learning to Fly A Practical Manual for Beginners Every now and then another plane from England would arrive high over the aerodrome, spiral down and land into the wind. Cavalry of the Clouds Then at 7 a.m. ten or twelve rifle shots on the aerodrome behind us took me up in a hurry, this being unusual. The Incomparable 29th and the "River Clyde" We move away from the aerodrome at once, and the occasional red flashings of bursting bombs show us that we are wise. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Of these 200 tons were dropped on aerodromes, largely by the short-distance F.E.2b's, as a result of which, hostile attacks on Allied aerodromes became practically negligible. Aviation in Peace and War Then one day he was sent on a job to an aerodrome workshop. Tam o' the Scoots This involved more than the average difficulties, for as the battle swayed back towards Paris new landing-grounds had to be sought, and temporary aerodromes improvised every few days. Cavalry of the Clouds Near the middle of the aerodrome a large gun emplacement—or whatever it is—is being dug, which, it is hoped, will draw some of the fire away from here. The Incomparable 29th and the "River Clyde" I press the central again and again, trying to judge the moment when I can check the pilot, so that the swing of the machine will stop as we come over the aerodrome. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z In addition to the forecasts issued four times daily, collective reports are issued hourly by wireless from the London terminal aerodrome at Croydon and copies are distributed to transport companies and others concerned. Aviation in Peace and War As Tam circled he saw white specks rising swiftly from the direction of the aerodrome and knew that the fighting squadron, full of fury, was on its way up. Tam o' the Scoots The Squadron Commander meets us in the aerodrome with congratulations and a desire for information. Cavalry of the Clouds I watched him as he gathered height over the aerodrome. High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France I stand up and look over the front, and try to fix the exact position of the aerodrome and its surroundings in relation to the machine. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Much has been done in the lighting and marking of aerodromes and in the equipment of aeroplanes with wireless telephone and direction-finding apparatus. Aviation in Peace and War The next day something put out of action the engine of that redoubtable fighter, Baron von Hansen-Bassermann, and he planed down to the British aerodrome with his machine flaming. Tam o' the Scoots An examination of the map will show that London would be within about half the aircraft range of the German aerodromes as they existed if these latter were moved to Calais and its neighbourhood. 1914 At last came the event which really marked the beginning of our careers as airmen: the first tour de piste, the first flight round the aerodrome. High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France From mess to cabins, from cabins to the aerodrome with its dazzling acetylene flares, we moved uneasily.

High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France Towards the aerodrome I walked behind the towering line of moonlit hangars, beyond which I could hear the murmur of the engines "warming-up." 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z As we sped toward the aerodrome I told him of our findings of the afternoon. 32 Caliber Tam got back to the aerodrome to discover that Callendar, somewhat burnt but immensely cheerful, was holding an indignation meeting, the subject under discussion being "The Game and How It Should Be Played." Tam o' the Scoots It is rumoured that they will be willing to buy them back from the purchasers at an enhanced price in order to equip a new aerodrome in the same locality. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 158, 1920-05-05 We would circle over Montmartre, Neuilly, the Bois, Saint-Cloud, the Latin Quarter, and then full speed homeward, listening anxiously to the sound of our motors until we spiraled safely down over our aerodrome. High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France From the aerodrome at Dunkerque five Short night-bombing machines were operating.

Tam o' the Scoots At 10.30 this morning another came over and dropped a couple of bombs into the aerodrome close by—two men hit. Gallipoli Diary, Volume 2 The patrol will then proceed to the aerodrome by the shortest route.” High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France I look below through the door, and see four or five bomb-flashes leap out across the aerodrome, while behind them lies apparently the smoke of others near the hangars. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z We took the aerodrome with the hippodrome, the coal merchant with the Norman tower, the parrot with the gargoyle, the H�tel de Ville with the cathedral, and the mermaids with the mole.

Tam o' the Scoots Some hovered all day over the enemy aerodrome at Jenin, and effectually prevented enemy machines from leaving the ground. With the British Army in The Holy Land Drew and I left the aerodrome a few minutes before sunrise for a trial flight, that we might give our motors a thorough testing. High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France Again we rose up in thunder across the lighted aerodrome towards the stars.

Tam o' the Scoots Some seemed almost motionless two or three miles above the earth, while others shot up from their aerodromes. My Second Year of the War Hundreds of aviators cleared the air and dropped bombs upon the enemy, assailing his ammunition dumps, aerodromes, and bases of supplies. With Our Soldiers in France It was an extremely cloudy day, and when they had drawn near to the new aerodrome, the last pilot lost sight of the other four machines in the clouds.

My Second Year of the War At 5.30 Critchley wakened me with the information that there was a conference of all officers at the aerodrome at 6. At Ypres with Best-Dunkley I had seen it rise and roar round the aerodrome with its deep, double throbbing note, and had gone away full of excitement, proud to have been there. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z These nights were "not devoid of attraction," and on the "bad nights for the troops" I would often dine at the aerodrome and see the raiders off.

Tam o' the Scoots Before the offensive new aerodromes began to appear along the front at the same time that new roads were building. My Second Year of the War Raising a whirlwind of dust, a motor-car swerved dangerously into the square, and with a roar sped up the road, carrying to their aerodrome three British airmen. The Parts Men Play When the larger machines were ready to go, it was decided that they should operate from another aerodrome near the coast in order that our own aerodrome might be left clear for the Shorts. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z Baring took me out for a great day round the aerodromes. An Onlooker in France 1917-1919 He turned the nose of the "pup" to earth and planed down to the aerodrome. Tam o' the Scoots Fortunately only one bomb dropped anywhere near us, and this did no damage; the rest were all aimed at Bailleul and its aerodromes. The Fifth Leicestershire A Record Of The 1/5th Battalion The Leicestershire Regiment, T.F., During The War, 1914-1919. Here, too, was an aerodrome and several burnt enemy planes—more evidence of the splendid work of the R.A.F. Through Palestine with the Twentieth Machine Gun Squadron I had seen, at my training aerodrome, the first of these great machines looming in its hangar. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The aerodromes of Budapest were seized by a German task force.

Tam o' the Scoots The first 500 American officer cadets to be trained went through the School of Military Aeronautics at Oxford, afterwards graduating at various aerodromes in England. Fields of Victory At El Fule a very large aerodrome had been established, and a large collection of enemy machines was found there. Through Palestine with the Twentieth Machine Gun Squadron Then the full power was put on, and for a few minutes the noise became ear-splitting, and the waves of sound rolled across the aerodrome and came echoing back from the hangars. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z The aerodrome lay six or seven miles above the town, and I was anxious to see it and the comfortable billets the Germans had built themselves. War in the Garden of Eden It fell less than a hundred yards from the aerodrome and Mr. Theodore Mann was dead when they pulled him from the wreckage. Tam o' the Scoots On the other hand, a flying officer once offered a ride to a Chinese ganger who, with his men, had been doing some work on an aerodrome for the R.A.F. Fields of Victory By next week my aerodrome will be finished. Madcap The machine stood on the aerodrome: the wings were stretched and pinned up; the tanks were filled with hot water. 'Green Balls' The Adventures of a Night-Bomber 2011-09-13T02:00:34.080Z That night we encamped in the outskirts of Tuz, not far from the Turkish aerodrome. War in the Garden of Eden "Please God, it isn't Tam!" she prayed as she drove the little car along the aerodrome road; "not Tam, dear Lord—not Tam!" Tam o' the Scoots Mr. Pemberton Billing is doing his best every Tuesday to bring the atmosphere of the aerodrome into the House. Mr. Punch's History of the Great War My enemy," he wrote, "there is nobody in the whole of the Roullens aerodrome whom I do not detest with a detestation beside which my hatred for you seems as maudlin adoration. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, March 26, 1919 The Air Ministry had already prepared the route by means of three survey parties which cleared the aerodromes and landing grounds, dividing their journey into stages of 200 miles or less. A History of Aeronautics After passing the big aerodrome near the town, the going became very bad; we struggled along through the village of Deltawa, in and out of unfathomable ditches. War in the Garden of Eden The endurance data were prepared from tests carried out in the aerodrome and from cross-country trials accomplished under ideal or fair-weather conditions. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War Twice more the performance was repeated, so that he travelled from one side of the aerodrome to the other—a distance of about a mile and a half. The Mastery of the Air An airship when about to land is brought over the aerodrome and is "ballasted up" so that she becomes considerably lighter than the air which she displaces. British Airships, Past, Present, and Future After an inspection made on the 16th an aerodrome was chosen. A History of Aeronautics In recent years he had been much interested in aviation, and had had a private aerodrome erected on his property. James Pethel Or perhaps a visit to some distant part is considered, in which case an airship is ordered from a public aerodrome. The Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a psychic revelation On 24th November, 1913, he decided to "try his luck" at the London aerodrome. The Mastery of the Air The machine made a circuit of the aerodrome and landed in perfect safety, while no trouble was experienced in any way in the airship. British Airships, Past, Present, and Future Raynham, pilot of the Martinsyde competing machine, had the bad luck to crash his craft twice in attempting to start before he got outside the boundary of the aerodrome. A History of Aeronautics We entered the white gates of a big aerodrome, skirted a forest of tents and huts, and drew up at a shanty on the far confines of the place. Mr. Standfast It was an aerodrome, and a secret one. The Thirty-Nine Steps The excuse cannot be made that his mechanics had performed this all-important work of inspection, for their attention was centred on the daring "banking" evolutions of some audacious pilot in the aerodrome. The Mastery of the Air Another drawback is the large tract of ground required for an aerodrome, and the big airship needs a large number of highly-trained personnel to handle it. British Airships, Past, Present, and Future By the time Langley had advanced sufficiently far to consider it possible to conduct experiments in the open air, even with these models, he had got to his fifth aerodrome, and to the year 1894. A History of Aeronautics The main road from the aerodrome was probably now being patrolled by motor-cars. Mr. Standfast S. P. Langley proposed the word aerodrome, which seems the preferable term for apparatus with wing-line surfaces. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 In many cases side-slips have taken place at aerodromes when the pilot has been rounding a pylon with the nose of his machine pointing upwards. The Mastery of the Air Sufficient sheds and aerodromes were also lacking, and the airships themselves were completed more quickly than the sheds which were to house them. British Airships, Past, Present, and Future Just what further procedure is necessary to secure successful flight with the large aerodrome has not yet been decided upon. A History of Aeronautics The aerodrome was waking up, but I saw no officers about. Mr. Standfast I took a spin in an automobile to-day to Versailles, and thence to Buc with its red brick aerodrome tower, sheds, and long rows of hangars. Paris War Days Diary of an American Mr. Willows has a large shed in the London aerodrome at Hendon, and he is at present working there on a new air-ship. The Mastery of the Air There is a fine stern courtesy between the airmen on either side, each dropping notes into the other's aerodromes to tell the fate of missing officers. A Visit to Three Fronts June 1916 Langley had made his last attempt with the 'aerodrome,' and his splendid failure but a few days before the brothers made their first attempt at power-driven aeroplane flight. A History of Aeronautics They must have come downhill from the aerodrome and in all likelihood were the pursuers I had avoided. Mr. Standfast Shots were fired at us from the aerodrome of the League Island Navy Yard; so we flew on, searching for a safer landing place. The Conquest of America A Romance of Disaster and Victory The enormous difference in the speeds of monoplanes and biplanes can be best seen at a race meeting at some aerodrome. The Mastery of the Air Attacks upon enemy aerodromes were very frequent, and this form of aerial offensive undoubtedly exercised a very deterrent influence upon enemy aerial activity over England. The Crisis of the Naval War Our nearest aerodromes were down on the plain, and a big expenditure of petrol was required to get the airman up the mountains and actually over the Plateau, and also to get him down again. With British Guns in Italy A Tribute to Italian Achievement We were trundling along very slowly now, and even I was soon able to pick up the hangars of a big aerodrome. Mr. Standfast On the morning of October 10th we made our first flight, rising from the aerodrome in Druid Hill Park and speeding to the northeast, skirting the shores of Chesapeake Bay. The Conquest of America A Romance of Disaster and Victory One of the first questions the visitor to an aerodrome, when watching the altitude tests, asks is: "How is it known that the airman has risen to a height of so many feet?" The Mastery of the Air These attacks were carried out from the aerodrome established by the Royal Naval Air Service at Dunkirk. The Crisis of the Naval War But our Air Force soon mitigated the nuisance by raiding their aerodromes, and brought down a number of hostile planes in air fighting. With British Guns in Italy A Tribute to Italian Achievement Then we are in the motor again, bound for an aerodrome forty or fifty miles away. Towards the Goal Three machines set out from an aerodrome over 150 miles away in a straight line, the pilots having to steer a course above country with no prominent landmarks. How Jerusalem Was Won Being the Record of Allenby's Campaign in Palestine Let us stand, in imagination, with the enormous crowd of spectators who invaded the Surrey aerodrome on 25th September, and the two following days, in 1913. The Mastery of the Air "I feel certain that the people who raided the aerodrome and made off with the Drifter are bound for a distant and unsettled section." Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane One glance at the bulletin board, erected just outside their quarters at the aerodrome, told Tom and Jack what they were detailed for that day. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns It was not long before, under the friendly administrations of the boys, Old Eben Joyce opened his eyes on a cot in their aerodrome and gave a long sigh. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest The raid on that aerodrome was so successful that at night the Germans burnt the whole of the equipment not destroyed by bombs. How Jerusalem Was Won Being the Record of Allenby's Campaign in Palestine No one with the exception of M. Bleriot and the mechanics were present at the Buc aerodrome, near Versailles, when Mr. Hucks had his monoplane brought out with the intention of looping the loop. The Mastery of the Air However, when Dave revisited the aerodrome, he found that the clever Interstate manager had stocked up the aircraft, with every necessity for safety and comfort he could think of. Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane The roar of the motors was heard all over the aerodrome, and soon the machines began to mount. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns After a little more talk the elder Chesters drove off, as the boys had decided to sleep in their aerodrome that night, on the two camp cots they had provided for such emergencies. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest In America the wonderful work of Professor Langley of the Smithsonian Institution with his aerodromes attracted worldwide attention. Marvels of Modern Science For nearly half an hour he climbed upward, and swooped over the aerodrome in wide circles, while his friends far below were watching every action of his machine. The Mastery of the Air "Now then, you and your friend go over to the aerodrome and see which one of our machines there suits you best." Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane The first burst of bullets from the German he engaged punctured his gasoline tank, and he was obliged to coast back to his own aerodrome to get another machine, if possible. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns "You will see the colors of La Belle France floating over my aerodrome after the race," was the rejoinder. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest Overhead a few aeroplanes still buzzed — combat and fire control and staff "observation" machines seeking out their aerodromes in the dark. The Boy Allies with Haig in Flanders Or, the Fighting Canadians of Vimy Ridge But at this point the group of airmen standing in the aerodrome were filled with alarm, for it was quite evident to their experienced eyes that the monoplane was not under proper control. The Mastery of the Air The Lewis gun was the one then most in use at this aerodrome station, which was somewhere on that section near where the British and French sectors meet. Our Pilots in the Air They finally reached their aerodrome, however, and as soon as they had landed and their plane was taken in charge by the mechanics the two lads hurried to the commanding officer. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns It was an hour later, and not far from midnight, when two dark figures crossed the deserted aviation field and threaded their way among the various aerodromes. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest Plans of ships, aerodromes and harbours, sailings of convoys, calling up of soldiers—all these are the A B C of our secret service profession. The Great Impersonation This operation alone took three or four minutes, and all that the pilot proposed to do was to circle the aerodrome two or three times. The Mastery of the Air The two other machines had vanished in the darkness, doubtless cleaving the higher air strata in a backward flight to the home aerodrome, which was now the goal of all. Our Pilots in the Air Not many miles away from the prison camp was a German aerodrome, and scenes of activity could now be noticed there. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns In the boys' aerodrome they were hard at work putting the finishing touches on the Golden Eagle and adjusting the lever. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest I know a gentleman who enlisted in the aerodromes. Under Fire: the story of a squad This operation can be witnessed at any aerodrome when speed handicaps are taking place. The Mastery of the Air Their own aerodrome lay only a few miles opposite. Our Pilots in the Air In the end Tom had to leave the plane where it was and hire a motor to take him and Martin back to the aerodrome. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns Billy Barnes, it had been settled, was to wait at the aerodrome in order to save weight. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest He was silent, and accompanied her as she walked to the aerodrome and entered it. The Secret Power What we could none of us understand was why this ominous image with its dead, cold face should have been placed in an aerodrome, nor in fact did we ever discover. When the World Shook; being an account of the great adventure of Bastin, Bickley and Arbuthnot About this time there came a sudden blue flare as a solitary rocket shot upward from beyond the grove of trees that that marked the landing place within the enclosed area that formed this aerodrome. Our Pilots in the Air So Tom and Jack drifted peacefully down to their aerodrome, noting that it was being newly camouflaged, for the recent rain had played havoc with some of the concealments. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns "Not I," responded the machinist, as he slipped into the aerodrome and was soon wrapped in slumber as profound as if the thought of committing a treacherous act had never entered his mind. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest But Mary Nestor was too grief-stricken over her missing father to come to the test, which was to take place late one afternoon, starting from the aerodrome of the Swift plant. Tom Swift and His Air Scout, or, Uncle Sam's Mastery of the Sky Meanwhile their foremost need is aerodromes, It being certain war has just begun. Poems For, be it known, that fatal blue flare from the aerodrome a dozen or more miles away had filled those trenches yet more full of human cannon fodder. Our Pilots in the Air So Jack and his observer safely reached the aerodrome again, bringing back much valuable information. Air Service Boys in the Big Battle Or, Silencing the Big Guns But the gayety did not extend inside the boys' aerodrome where, in fact, dismay reigned. The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest Tom speeded the machinery up to almost the last notch, but those in the aerodrome hardly heard a sound. Tom Swift and His Air Scout, or, Uncle Sam's Mastery of the Sky By then the groups of friends and visitors had melted back to the rear into the misty regions where lay the small French village that had sheltered them together with the aerodrome itself. Our Pilots in the Air Still further back was another aerodrome, unfenced as yet, but nearly completed. Our Pilots in the Air Nothing receives more care and attention at an aerodrome than the motor of the plane and the mechanism of the machine gun.
