Now comes the hard part, The bird must be properly launched. To throw it out any old way is plain 'murder. If it is caught in the slipstream it is smashed against the fuselage. If its wing feathers are ruffled, the wind tears them apart, snaps the wing, and drops the maim- ed bird to earth. Radio men are taught how to hold the bird correctly. Wings sleeked and held against the sides near the tail, Body horizontal and head facing direction of flight. Sometimes the bird is tossed out of the window with an easy under- arms throw, like the wicketkeeper sending the ball back to the bowler. Sometimes it is given a sharp down• ward push -oft, It depends on the position of the release aperture, Snatched away by the air torrent, the bird falls and falls, opens its wing's, circles three or four tinges, then heads for home at thirty to sixty miles per houraccording to the wind.

Only the fastest, surest birds are used. If a pigeon in training strays and is late home once, he becomes suspect. If he dawdles twice he is dismissed from the Service. Result—eighty per cent of the messages sent by RAF pigeons on operational flights reach their destin- ations. This includes those carried 'by ignorant sportsmen, who realize their mistake and hand the messages over to the police. Others, afraid of being punished, bury the birds -messages and all, That may be manslaughter, because the lives of a plane's crew may de- pend on that bit of "flimsy." RAF pigeons often come in on a love beam. If one of them shows a liking for a certain hen, he is shown the, lady before he leaves. It makes hien hurry home. And if he shows signs of coldness, the urgencies of the eternal triangle are introduced. He sees his mate billing with a rival just before he is carried off. It's the same with the females. The fastest recorded speed of an RAF pigeon -68.7 miles per' hour— was made by a jealous hen. f Y d t s w INSTALLING A POWERFUL ENGINE IN A MOSQUITO The Mosquito twin -engined bomber type which made a dramatic appear- ance at Hitler's birthday party, is among the fastest bombers in existence and well able to out -distance enemy intercepte • ghters, Avro-Lancaster, most formidable bomber in the world with an Ston load of destruction and a range or 3,000 miles.
