ACKERMAN (United Press Staff Correspondent) j ?With Genoral von Lin3ingr-n's Ar- j mles on tho Russian Front. Aug. 20. ? (By Mail) ? Germany has added flying whale to her other war won wers of the air! 1 A hundred yards away these new ' aeroplanes look like gigantic flsh I with double flus whlrh have flopped out of the water and lie stranded on their bellies on the snnd. Tliey have four lug eye? on each sfde. High in the air tlu-y are the mnnl startling creaturcs 1 have seen on any front. They look like the flying flsh one scob on tho ocean, many timed lao'enlfled. On close examination yon discover an aeroplane standing about eflfht feet from the ground. They w'.ngs aj;e those of an ordinary aeroplane but the bodies are slipped like a fat j fish. The motor Is enclosed In tho head and at the Bides, where the eyes of the flt?h would be, are two win dows. Tho operator or obscrvor can | look out from above the Ash's back or from the sides, through the eyes.; (The censors' scissor* had deletetl , a paragbaph at this point, possibly carrying more details of the aero plane's .construction.) These flying whales have greater speed, more bomb-carrying capacity i and riulcker action than any other bl- j planes In Eruopo, officers at the Ger- 1 man aviation camp told me. The one I saw was not large. The Germans have other aeroplanes much larger, equipped with two motors and carry ing three or four persons, but for i purposes of combat the "flying > whales" cannot be equalled, even byj the famous French Nieuport ma chines.
