After three years Of warfare the to-
TAI number Of airplanes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
Of the western front has not been
over $500. Each plane in the air
requires force of 46 men, two re-
placement planes on the ground, and
one training plane for every pilot
who eventually reaches the front,
with an extra engine for each plane.
The life Of plana Is not more than
two months, and the engine must be
overhauled after each 70 hours. Now
that American battle planes are going
overseas. the great problem is TO Sc
cure the thousands If skilled mechan-
les, enginemen, motor repair men,
wood and metal workers needed TO
keep the planes in perfect condition.
This engineering and mechanical force
at the airdromes, the flying fields, and
repair depots, both here and behind
the lines In France, is vital industrial

That same seriousness has mani

new fiction the public wants war and
more war books. and the publishers,

correspondents diaries, as in other
wars. but with the output Of men and

and whose service rendered sanctifles
