When I was finally able to secure a machine this morning, I stayed up two hours, which is a safe margin on the gasoline supply, in order to get in all the time I could while I had a machine. The wind was pretty strong when I left the ground, and it increased until it finally equalled the speed of the machine — over 60 miles per hour; and flying into it I stayed stationary over the same point on the ground, so to divert myself I nosed up and climbed to 11,000 feet, which is slightly over two mil...es. It seemed about the same there [38] as at a mile, except objects were somewhat smaller. I in- tended seeing how high the bus would climb, but I got so cold I could n't stand it any longer, so glided down to about 3000 feet. There the wind was very dusty, and clouds a short distance above inclined to make it bumpier than I have ever experienced it so far, and yet I am so used to flying now that I can do it entirely by feeling and no longer have to think about it. So I flew for nearly an hour, looking down on the ground and thinking about home and after the war.
