THE SKYMAN SUPREME
By Commandant Brocard, of the “Stork Squadron”
For more than two years all of us have seen him cleavingthe heavens above our heads, the heavens lighted upby shining sun or darkened by lowering tempests, bearingupon his poor wings a part of our dreams, of our faith insuccess, of all that our hearts held of confidence and hope.
“Guynemer was a powerful idea in a frail body, and Ilived near him with the secret sorrow of knowing that someday the idea would slay the container.
“Poor boy! All the children of France, who wrote to himdaily, to whom he was the marvelous ideal, vibrated with allhis emotions, lived through his joys and suffered his dangers.He will remain to them the living model hero, greatest in allhistory. They love him as they have learned to love thepurest glories of our country.
“Guynemer was great enough to have done that which hedid without seeking recompense save in the silent consciousnessof having done his full duty.”
