here, each of which maintains some
85 basic training planes. But act-
ually their test piloting is just
about as important as the supervis-
ion thdv exercise over the 200 me-
chanics in each squadron.
Less famous than their brothers
who first fly the Air Corps’ fighting
and experimental craft, these flying
engineers who sky-ride every new or
used plane to which changes, re-
pairs. or adjustments hWve- been
made are definitely a contributing
Once a month the test pilot
takes each plane up to 10.000 feet
and goes through all the maneuv-
ers that an Aviation Cadet would.
After 45 minutes in the air. he’s
pretty certain that the plane will
perform as it’s supposed to for any
fledgling flier who's scheduled to fly
it.

at an absolute minimum.
One of the check-riders sums it
up reasonably:
“If anything is going to happen to
a newly repaired plane, the Air
Corps wants it to happen to a vet-
eran—who'll know what to do—
rather than a young' fellow just
learning to fly.”
But seldom does anythfhg unto-
wards happen, for in its efficient
way, the Army’s air arm takes pre-
cautions to see that every plane is
checked, and then checked again,
day in and day out.
j To Air Corps mechanics on duty
at this gigantic flying school, life is
one check after another until tiiey

testing plants to find superior spe-
cies for Christmas decorations that
bring good prices during the holi-
day season and at the same time are
useful in conserving the soil.
Holly ranks first among plans
used for decorative purposes at
Christmas time, and Detwiler says
it is also an excellent farm wood-,
