THE MENTOR 1918.11.01, No. 166, Guynemer LEARN ONE THING EVERY DAY NOVEMBER 1 1918 SERIAL NO. 166 THE MENTOR GUYNEMER THE WINGÈD SWORD OF FRANCE By HOWARD W. COOK DEPARTMENT OF VOLUME 6 BIOGRAPHY NUMBER 18 TWENTY CENTS A COPY THE SKYMAN SUPREME By Commandant Brocard, of the “Stork Squadron” For more than two years all of us have seen him cleaving the heavens above our heads, the heavens lighted up by shining sun or darkened by lowering tempests, bearing upon his poor wings a part of our dreams, of our faith in success, of all that our hearts held of confidence and hope. “Guynemer was a powerful idea in a frail body, and I lived near him with the secret sorrow of knowing that some day the idea would slay the container. “Poor boy! All the children of France, who wrote to him daily, to whom he was the marvelous ideal, vibrated with all his emotions, lived through his joys and suffered his dangers. He will remain to them the living model hero, greatest in all history. They love him as they have learned to love the purest glories of our country. “Guynemer was great enough to have done that which he did without seeking recompense save in the silent consciousness of having done his full duty.” * * * * * THE MENTOR ASSOCIATION Established for the Development of a Popular Interest in Art, Literature, Science, History, Nature and Travel THE MENTOR IS PUBLISHED TWICE A MONTH BY THE MENTOR ASSOCIATION, INC., AT 114-116 EAST 16TH STREET, NEW YORK.
