Later, on the ground, we stood around our instructors, listening to
criticism of our flying. I wasn't listening very much. I was looking
around at the faces of the other students. I saw another student looking
around too. It was Lindbergh. He had been flying in the attacking
formation. After the criticism was over I walked up to Lindbergh.
"Say," I said, "did you come close to anybody in that head-on attack?"
He grinned all over.
"Yes," he said. "Was that you?"
"Yes."
"Did you see me?" he asked.
"No," I said. "I _felt_ you."
"It is a good thing you didn't see me," Lindbergh said, "because if you
had seen me you would have pulled up, too, and we would have hit head
on."
