Pilots.

Fatalities in Training u. s. Ain
Pilots.
The Committee on Public In.
formation has issued the follow
ing:
There have been TO date, in
the six and a half months since
the beginning of the war, a to-
tai of seven accidents, resulting
in eight fatalities in connection
with the whole training program
for Americas air army. Of these
fatalities, two were caused by
men on the ground being struck
by the propeller of a machine.
The Aviation Section has been
gratified hat the fatalities have
not been more numerous, espec-
tally in view of the hundreds of
absolutely new and unexperienc-
ed pilots who have been taking
the air.
In the selection of aviators es-
pecial attention is given to re-
sponsibility OF character and to
general athletic suppleness. The
system of training is designed
to prevent the occurance of ac-
cidents through inexperience or
carelesSness. Eight weeks are
spent in the preliminary ground
training in the theories of flight.
Before the men take the air at
all they are given careful in
struction in running machines
the ground to accustom
them to the various controls.
Their early flights are made un-
der close supervision with an
instructor; and later, when they
first fly alone, they are under
strict rules for safety.
