...outbreak of the present world war, France had 1500 aeroplanes, most of them up-to-date machines, organized into squadrons of six. Whether the 10 aeroplanes at present available in the United States service are any one of them up-to-date machines, I know not. But certain it is that the requirements of military service are very exacting, and quite different from the demands of aviation considered only as a sport...
