Clayton Knight New York City Clayton Knight, who makes a specialty of drawings of airplanes and air activities feels that he is one of the war profiteers. Although he was making and selling draw- ings after studying at the Mechanics Institute and University of Chicago, it was not until after his war experiences that he felt that he had something to put on paper except technical proficiency. As a member of the American Expeditionary Force he received his flying training in England and was sent to France with a British Squad- ron and did all his fighting with them. During the months he spent in German, Bel- gian, French, English and American hospitals, while his wounds healed, he had ample time to make notes on paper that have since been invaluable as references. When “War Birds-the diary of an Unknown Aviator” was published, he, asoneofthe group whose story it was, did the drawings and has since made flying pictures for “The Red Knight of Germany,” and for numerous stories by Elliott White Springs, Lester Maitland and other aeronautical writers. He is also the author of a book for boys, just published The Non-Stop Stowaway” illustrated with many drawings in color and black and white. NlNETEEN-HVNPRED-TWENTY NrNECj r i S): 13
