Seaton possessed a Government aircraft factory, and each finished machine had to be carefully tested.

All the girls in the school were extremely interested in the exploits of Lieutenant Mainwaring, a member of the Flying Corps, who might constantly be seen practicing.

Elsie recorded his doings with immense pride, and provided up-to-date information of his whereabouts.

He was a very daring young fellow, and was reported to have looped the loop.
