 Here is a story dedicated1 to the boys who fought the war on the ground, the holders2 of the famous “Croix de Chair,” who were commonly known as swivel chair artists, or “Waffle Seaters.” I was engaged in this duty myself at times and I know what it means. It is the most exacting3 and yet least appreciated task of the war. We used to call these staff officers “Waffle Seaters” for the reason that they sat so long on cane4 bottomed chairs that the seats of their trousers were beginning to take on the impression of a waffle.
There were troubles in the air and troubles on the ground. One of the reasons that made it extremely difficult to get a proper understanding between the units on the ground and the Air Service was that the ground units had never had an opportunity to work with the Air Service and they, therefore, could not understand the possibilities and the limitations of aviation. Neither the airman nor the ground soldier could be brought to realize that many of the troubles encountered were common to both. This lack of understanding and co?peration gradually 100was eliminated as the units became more experienced in working with each other.
However, for a long time the airman could not possibly comprehend how the same faults that bothered the flyer could also bother those on the ground. The contrary is also true—many on the ground thought the airman would not be bothered by the same elements that would hinder ground work.
An incident illustrating6 this occurred between a couple of air officers, a Colonel who was in charge of American Balloons at the Front, and a Lieutenant7, a Balloon Observer. This superior officer was a full-blooded German, born in Berlin. He spoke8 a German-American language that was mostly German. His name was Lieutenant Colonel John Paegelow. Paegelow was a Regular, and a regular fellow. We all liked him very much for he was very
