WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Ameri-
can aviators i'm training in tho
United States during the year end
ed June 80. 1918, flew an equivalent
of 1928 times around the world. ac
cording TO the first annual report of
Mai. Cen William L. Henley. di-
rector of military aeronauties. and
made public today. The report tells
how the air service of the United
States army has from the most in
significant of beginnings come with
in the year to be one of Americas 5
major effects i'm the war"
Fly 4O7 ,999 Hours.
During the fiscal year ended June
so, 1915 SAYS the report, "a grand
total of 407999 hours We're flown
by army aviators in the United
States as contrasted with 1853
hours in 1914 and 1859 hours in
1915. In the single week ending
June 80, 1918, total of 1860 hours
were flown of 10 times. for that
single week, the number for the
whole year three years before. This.
at 20 miles an hour, is equivalent to
over 30,0O0,OO0 miles, or 1928 times
around the equator
There were 152 fatalities among
American aviators during that year.
representing 2.6S4 flying hours and
POI 600 miles flown to each death.
Most of these deaths were caused by
stalled motors while i'm the air. when
the plane crashed to the earth be-
fore the pilot could regain control,
and by collisions i'm the air.
Accident Figures Low
"Regrettable as these accidents
are" said Gen. Henley. "it is felt
that. considering the newness of the
science. the early state of develop
ment Of the planes the inexperience
i'm instruction and the necessity Of
teaching stunts in themselves rather
dangerous. this number is not large.
As a matter of actual statistics. ia
talities i'm American training are less
than half as large as those of the
other allied countries"
Progress Has Been Sound.
Gen. Kenley concludes his report
with the following:
Where. at the outbreak Of the
war. there had been but 90 officers
i'm the air service. there were on
June 30. 1918. 1920: the enlisted
strength similarly, had jumped from
1.12O to 124767: the number of men

from less than 100 at the outbreak
of the war had increased to more
than $4,000 by June 80, 1918. There
were 1872 officers and 1867 en-
listed men overseas on that date. In
deed. the air service alone was by
June so. 1915. larger than the Amer
lean army at the outbreak of the
war. While its development had been
infinitely more complicated and
much less rapid than expected there
is reason to believe that it is essen
