_Adventures of the Royal Flying Corps in Sinai_
_Told by F. W. Martindale_
The land has its perils for the aviator, and so has the sea; but
our "fliers" in Egypt have learnt to dread the treacherous desert
more than anything else. Here are two little stories from the
annals of the R. F. C.--one near tragedy, the other real tragedy,
lightened only by the amazing self-sacrifice of a young officer and
the dogged pluck of his mechanic, who posted up his diary while
awaiting death. Recorded in the _Wide World Magazine_.
