CHAPTER I It was the mud, I think, that made me taketo flying. I had fully expected that goinginto battle would mean for me the saddle ofa galloping charger, instead of the snug littlecock-pit of a modern aeroplane.

It had rained for daysin torrents, and there was still a drizzlecoming down as I set out for a tour of thehorse-lines.
