The Perils of Aviation

Nearly every day the news brings us the account of one or more persons who have lost their lives by some accident with an air-ship. But still the work goes on, and there are more and more men, and women too for that matter, who are willing to be sacrificed in order that the science of flying may be developed. The principal call for the aviator is from the military and naval men. Each nation is seeking to build up a strong aerial navy, and they want experts at flying the air machines. And in view of this strong demand, men and women are willing and anxious to embark in a calling that is almost sure to result in their death sooner or later.
