"Excerpt from Go, Get ''Em!: The True Adventures of an American Aviator of the Lafayette Flying Corps Who Was the Only Yankee Flyer Fighting Over General Pershing''s Boys of the Rainbow Division in Lorraine, When They First Went "Over the Top"
IT was a drowsy, peaceful day in early May. War seemed remote, an evil unreality. Lured from my writing by the insistent call of Spring, I left my desk and strolled instinctively toward Boston''s breathing space, the Common Of historic memo ries, whose easterly mall, honored in bearing the name of Lafayette, was now lined with a row Of trim green and white cottages dedicated to the com fort of the boys who wear the khaki or the blue. Before the little stage in front Of one I saw gathered a thronging crowd that, from a distance, gave the impression of many drones clustered about the Open ing Of a hive.
