British Air Force recounts a duel over enemy lines where a single-seater pilot lured three German scouts by diving from the clouds and delivering decisive fire. A second late-arriving British two-seater helped overpower the remaining German aircraft, driving them into evasive spins under ground-fire protection.
The article reflects on Thomas Jefferson's role in advancing national infrastructure. It notes his push for a strong road system from Cumberland to the west, the use of the general welfare clause to justify federal action, and the Louisiana Purchase including Oklahoma areas. It also mentions Texas and Cimarron counties and links past beliefs to present road building concerns.
The piece argues for expanded highway funding and a three-system model: national, state, and county. It cites New York as a model with state aid building extensive, connected highways and calls for abolishing township highway units, with maps and unified planning to accelerate construction and maintenance nationwide.
