STATE CAMP GROUND
THE PROBABLE LOCATION

Augusta affords an ideal location for
such training site as is proposed by
the Aero Club Of America. The State
camp ground would. undoubtedly, be Sc
lected as it is fitted out for all purposes
of military nature, with a broad parade
ground sufficient to easily maneuver a
whole brigade in battle formation, thus
planes as would be assembled. either of
the Fokker type or the army's new bat
tie plane, which is considered the equal
of any in existence.
This site has been commented on by
some of the best tactcians in the army.
a few of whom have been here in attend
ance at officers school. The altitude of
the ground brings out plenty Of free space
at no great height for beginners and suf-
ficient area to insure safe landings and
plenty Of room for hangers without dis
turbing present buildings used for the
National Guard.
The spreading fields surrounding the
camp site for miles, should the airmen
care to alight for any purpose. and If
equipped with pontoons what better op-
portunity than the excellent waters of
Cobbossee, Manarancook, Annabescook,
and the Belgrade chain.
Lincoln Beachey found no obstacle
whatever in making his flights from the
trottine park and ascending to great
heights. and he was lavish In his praise
for the fine conditions for flight.
