GIFTED AIRMEN
ACTING SQUADRON-LEADER KAIN. GIVEN LINDBERGH'S NICKNAME. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) PARIS, November 19. Fragments of the Dornier plane which Acting Squadron-Leader Kain shot dawn are being distributed as souvenirs. The French troops have conferred Lindbergh’s nickname, “The Flying Fool," on Acting Squadron-Lea-der Kain, whose control of his machine is so perfect that he can "sweep off his comrades' caps." His squadron- and a French mess entertained him at a front line dinner, which was attended by J. Borotra, the tennis player, now a member of the French Air Force.
