Washington, De. 11.-American ar.
my aviators in the United States flew
an estimated distance Of 30,OOO,O0
miles in single week, or 1858 times
the distance around the equator.
This is one of the interesting facts
developed today in the annual report
by Major General William L. Henley,
chief of military aeronautics. He point.
ed out that aviators flew 4O7 ,999 hours
in the fiscal year as against 745 hours
in 1914 when the United States scarce
ly had an aerial establishment.
Henley reviewed that the allies were
urgent in their recommendations for an
independent air service and that as a
result came appointment of Secretary
Ryan and Henley as the first reorgani.
zation steps.
Aviation Develops Rapidly.
The allied mission, backed by the
French premier, called for 1000 planes
a month, total of 5000 pilots and 50.-
600 mechanicians. This was the fore
runner of the original $640,000,000 ap.
preparation by congress for aviation
Henley pictured the nation as lament
ably lacking in 1914 in airplane knowl'
edge and facilities.
In the two years thereafter, the al
lies developed aviation remarkably in.
stalling radio outfits, efficient photo.
graphic processes, made regular bomb
ing planes and developed engine eff
cheney to 500 horsepower.

ties at the outbreak Of the war, yet
did remarkable work in developing
