NOVEMBER 30, 1916. 1/LlCHTj ALLIES' MACHINES IN GERMAN HANDS. IN Germany is published from time to time lists of the British and French machines which they claim to have brought down The lists are of great interest, since they contain much •detailed information as to machines and the fate of the pilots and observers. From the last point of view we regard them as exceedingly valuable, because they clear up the fate of many of those of our gallant airmen who simply figure in our casualty lists as " Missing." We publish below" the latest of these lists available. Possibly they are not absolutely •complete, but a comparison with our lists shows that they are reasonably so, and are thus very helpful in enabling us to know exactly what has become of many missing officers and their machines. The list, as we publish it, has a formidable appearance, but when we come to compare it with our own published lists there is, unfortunately, only too much reason to believe that it tells no more than the truth about the terrible toll of life the Flying Services exact as the price of Admiralty of the Air. Heavy as it is, it has to be faced, and such a list as this emphasises the need for further and yet further sacrifice to maintain what we have secured at the price of the devotion of those whose names are enshrined in the Roll of Honour.
