Synopsis
Excerpt from Flying for France: With the American Escadrille at Verdun
And as time went on, still a new note crept into his letters; the first admiration for France was strength ened and almost replaced by a new feeling - a profound conviction that France and the French people were fighting the fight of liberty against enormous odds. The new spirit of France - the Spirit of the Marsell laise, strengthened by a grim deter mination and absolute certainty of being right - pervades every line he writes. So he gave up the ambulance service and enlisted in the French flying corps along with an ever increasing number of other Americans.
