Irah d. Spaulding, 10 years old, of
Brattleboro. is a full hedged licensed
aviator. After more than two months
of training in the Curtiss camp
in San Diego, California, he performed
on Thursday March IA. all of the diff
ficult requirements which are necessary
before a pilots license is granted, al
though the conditions at that time were
very threatening. He had already made
many successful flights, some for long
distances, and had scared hundreds of
feet in the air, but on the day when
the big ordeal came he was called upon
to execute figure Fights and other stunts
in the air and to make perfect landings
upon a mark from various heights and
angles
The San Diego Times of March Is pub
lished portraits of Spaulding and Ma
roney, the two successful candidates at
the Curtiss camp, together with a long
article describing the thrilling events OF
the day at the aviation field. The Times
said in part:
although the wind at North ISLAND
yesterday was so averse to flying thai
four aeroplanes were smashed and the
aviator in one case was badly injured
two of the flyers stuck to the game ant
did the difficult work that won then
their pilots licenses.
THE condition of the atmosphere wa:
described by Aviator Glenn II. Curts'
as full of little hurricanes-the tail enc
of the big storm.
Anxious to make up for lost time
practically all of the Curtiss pupils ven
