THE FARMER: DECEMBER 10, 1917

The fulfillment of that hope rests upon the skilled men in the air drome behind the front. If their standard is high. no plane will be lost in bat tie through avoidable mechanical flaw; no engine will be allowed to rack itself unnecessarily, no wing or fuse lage subjected to overstrain. If this work is we'll done, the mechanical part of the air service will be kept in perfect shape, tuned, taut, oiled, and creased for all the great strain which will come upon 1t.
 Each air drome, besides, will be largely self-sustaining. It will have It's own clerks, stenographers, chauf- feurs, etc, to do the office work and keep all the supplies up to the needs; it's own telephone operators and line- men, plumbers, carpenters, and brick layers. The air service will be in- spired with an esprit de corps and an individuality which will make every man in it, from the aviator all the pride and reward in it's achievements.
 This is the last week in which men of the draft age may volunteer as en- listed men in the air service. After noon on Saturday, December 15, no man between 19 and 31 may enter any branch of the army until actually summoned by the government. Men of that classification who wish to en- ter the service should apply in per son to the nearest recruiting office, a letter from their employer, and their preference for service in the Aviation Section. Men over the draft age and not over 40 should send their applica- tions direct to the Volunteer Depart ment, 119 D Street ME-, Washington with full details of their work

AVIATION SECTION NEEDS THOUSANDS OF SKILLED MEN
 To CARE FOR TIE MACHINES
Mechanicians Chauffeurs and Other Workmen Wanted For the Great Air Domes to Be Erected Behind the Hines in France-One of Americas Great Tasks.

itensive work. Many of the special ized industries, such particularly as those of propeller making, magnetos, machine guns. and wings, have thrown open their factories to the govern ment for instruction of these men as part of their contribution to the win ming of the war. Naturally, the men are thus enabled, through practical rapidly and effectively for their new work. / ~ eaF Upon completion of these courses the men are graduated and returned to a center where overseas squadrons are being formed. There, in the right proportion, they are organized into complete units 50 many enginemen, so many tailors or cobblers for the wings, so many cabinetmakers or woodworkers for the fuselage, so many carpenters or plumbers for the air dromes. Almost immediately, in all probability, the squadron will move on to a port of authorization for trans port overseas on the first available steamer
 These American mechanics will have a. big part to play in the event. ual allied air drive. They will be continually busy in the great air dromes, doing the most delicate kind of work. mostly out of doors, often with rough-and-ready tools, requiring much ingenuity, frequently in great haste. With machines constantly com ing and going to and from the air front, there will never be time of dullness or lack of interest.
 Every machine must be carefully tuned and examined before it ven- lures out on its important work Me- chanicians must go over the engine; armorers the machine guns; instru- ment specialists, the magnetos, alti- meters. sight instruments, air-speed indicators, etc. Fatal cases are on record where air battles have been lost through neglect before the planes have left the air dromes.
 l It is on the return, however, that the principal activity is necessary. Many planes come in badly wrecked or injured in so serious condition, indeed, that they would be no longer serviceable without expert repairmen 1 on hand. Oftimes the wing are so perforated with machine-gun or anti aircraft bullets that the most expert sailmakers, cobblers, and tai1ors are necessary. Or possibly the delicate woodwork of the fuselage is so dam aged that only an expert cabinet or boat maker can restore it to useful ness.
 It has often been estimated that the average life of plane is but four months. That means that the whole fighting equipment must be renewed three times a year. The expense Is naturally very great. It is hoped however, in the American service to make a far better record than this
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-12-10

.@ne of the great tasks in building tup the American air service has been and IS today the securing of the tens of thousands of mechanics, chauf- feurs, and other skilled workmen needed in the great air domes behind the front ,slines in France. A force larger than the whole. American Army before the war is needed for this work alone, a force of skilled mechanics, rare enough at best, but doubly so amidst all the other war claims.
 Popular imagination has been so .oenteEed on the airman himself as al- most to exclude the other men in the en to the thousands of men on the ground who keep the engines in good order, the wires, always taut, the ma chine gun or camera ever ready. Their work is perhaps. less spectacular, but t is the foundation stone upon which all the rest is erected. For if an aviator is allowed to go out with an Imperfect engine, weakened wing, Tor an insufficient supply of gasoline, as has not infrequently happened, his mission is doomed to failure.
 Already mechanics have volunteer ted in thousands for this vital work with such spontaneity, ineed ,as to make it possible to keep a steady stream of squadrons flowing overseas For some time now they have been busy on the other side building the air dEomes, establishing the repair shops. and making ready to set up the planes which will announce America's arrival over the German trenches NarfOHs trade interests and employ ers' organizations also have co-opera- ted with the government in the effort to comb out the large number of ex- I perts needed in the short time avail able. but, despite that, still more men are needed.
 Only men especially trained are &C., eepted at the outset in order to keep the standard as high as the necessities of the service require. Obviously, an unakil1ed man would be more of a hinHrance than help in the highly specta1ized work to be done, and .migEH even bring about fatal results Even skilled mechanic himself must have special training fol adrplane work, many phases o1 which will be foreign to him rat first. The ground force, therefore 1nust undergo instruction for the air A'eFwfce, just as the aviators them ekal~es, though, naturally, the course is not go long nor so exact The main prd blem is to adapt a skilled mans esp0cfal abilities to the specific prob lens of air
 Upon acceptance into the service the men are sent at once to large conqentration center, where they are sorted out according to trades. De. faGhments of the various trades are then sent at once to factories or fly. ing fields for two or three weeks in.
