RECOGNIZED AERONAUTIC EXPERT

Gen. George o. Squier Is man
who achieves things. While In the
signal corps as colonel he was placed
in charge Of aerOnautics and with but
Il limited amount of money to eSpcnd
he started out to develop this service
for the United States army.
His idea was to specialize In the
various branches of this arm Of the
service and to put the members Of his
corps through most intensive train
ing. The result was that when con-
gress finally awakened to true real
izatiOn of what aeronautics meant to
an army and increased his approprla-
ton, General Squer found himself in
position to cXpend this appropriation
judiclously. The result is that the
American fller today ranks foremost
among the fliers of the world.
