The " Escadrille " is chiefly intended to do propa ganda work, and its president is M. Leon Bathiat. The idea originated with M. J. C. Bernard, who will take over the post of Secretary. M. Laurent Eynac, French Under- Secretary of State for Air, has received a deputation con sisting of Sadi Lecointe, J. C. Bernard and Haeglen, and has officially sanctioned the formation of the squadron, promising at the same time a Government subsidy towards its expenses. Already the following French pilots have joined the Squadron : Sadi Lecointe, J. C. Bernard, Jean Casale, Haeglen, Fronval and Dommicis. Three Italian aviators, Scaroni, Ferrarin and Brach Papa, have joined, and Belgium is represented on the squadron by the Chevalier Willy Coppens. , At the moment we do not know of any British " Ace " who has joined. The Squadron will be officially recognised, and M. Laurent Eynac will make full use of its services for propaganda purposes. Aviation in Russia RUMOUR is again busy with great aviation projects in Russia. It has been stated that a great fleet of 5,000 aero planes is being constructed in Russia by German designers and engineers, and that this fleet is to be used to establish aerial communications throughout Russian territory. At first it is intended to use German personnel both on the constructional and operational sides, but by degrees it is hoped to train a sufficient number of Russians to take over the entire running of the services. In the meantime, the opening thus provided for German engineers and financiers is thought to be excellent, and, to put it quite bluntly, to provide, at Russian expense, the training and experience which Allied restrictions prevent them from getting at home. The situation is not, however, without its dangers, and should be closely watched from this side. A fleet of 5,000 " red " Russian aeroplanes, even if ostensibly " commercial," is not pleasant to contemplate. 665
