Only One Aviator Has Reached Forty.

All this amazing science of war flying is in' the hands of boys and youths. Rarely do we find a successful airman 40 years old. Lieutenant Colonel Plcclo of Italy, with a score of seventeen airplanes brought down to date, is the only ace in the world who has reached this age. fllft other hand, fully a score of celebrated fighting aces are under the age of 20, It is a young man’s game, and solely by the experience and inventions of these young men will this important arm of warfare evolve and become perfected. Lawrence La Tourette Driggs in the Century Magazine.
