Gilroy, Wilbert H.
September 24th 1917
We had a hard week last week as you could see from the papers but I am glad to say that I came thru it O.K. One day was especially nerve-wracking but after the first half hour I got settled down and it didn't bother me at all. Seeing others get it is nearly as bad as the real thing. I remember one chap just a few yards from me getting a direct hit on his machine which immediately burst into flames and he went down 2000' like a torch. I followed him down part way but of course could do nothing as he was dead before he ever hit the ground. But altogether it was a very fine show and we were able to do our share. It was entirely a success too which is the main thing.
