I Spy by Natalie Sumner Lincoln Excerpt the story of the enemy's successful raid. From a safe height the German airman and his observer watched their handiwork.

But as fast as they went, their heavier Aviatik was no match in speed for the swift French aeroplane, and the bullets from the latter's machine gun were soon uncomfortably near.
