AERIAL TRANSPORT
SERVICE BY AIR FORCE NO RANKING DIFFERENCE (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Dec. 2. The Royal Air Force communications squadron plays an important though perhaps little known part in the war. Besides flying Royalty, Cabinet Ministers and higher ranks on duty, it also carries men summoned urgently home on account of the illness or I death of relatives. It makes no difference between j officers and men when dealing with j compassionate cases. A recent example when, from one aircraft arriving in England, there stepped out a general, an air commodore, two stall' officers and a private, serves well to testify to this principle. When space is available, these communications aircraft carry comforts to France —books, woollen garments, i radio sets and many other things j •t*'aat make life in the field a little I more comfortable.
