Eberts Aviation Field

We represent the highest branch of service in the army and navy" said one of the enlist ed men on duty at the new avia- tion field at Lonoke, and there was no denying the truth of his statement as you watched the aeroplanes rise higher and high CT overhead, until they were barely to be distinguished from the birds of passage, and the thrum of their engines could no longer be heard. That there is a fascination about the aviation branch of the service must be ad- mitted by every visitor to an avi atiOn camp. It's pewness; the very thought of flying unsup- ported by any visiable aids; the possibilities and freedom of ma neuvers, all tend to bring to it the very choicest spirits of the young manhood of America. Fly ing is young mans game and officers and men are all in their early twenties.
 Eberts Field is located at Lon oke, 30 miles east of Little Rock on the Rock Island, and there is also very good highway. It is located just at the west edge of the city and occupies a tract one mile wide by one and one half miles long-960 acres in all. The entire 960 acre tract is just as level as table and was formerly rice field. Itis really too level for good drainage and the rains this month have retarded ike fly CTS Tn their work not little.
 Eberts Field was so named in honor of Capt M. M. Eberts of Little Rock, an officer in the Sig nal Corps, who was killed hy the fall of his flying machine at Co., lumbus, N M., the very day he received his commission as cap tain. He was a son of H. F. H. Eberts of Little Rock.
 Just now there are some 800 men stationed at the Field with perhaps 50 cadets in training for commissions as flyers. The oth- CTS are guards, mechanics, help CTS, instructors, etc., with the

usual complement of field hospi-. tai men, quartermaster dept. signal corps instead of the com panies of the infantry or the bat talions of artillery, you hear of the squadron" as the unit of strength as in the cavalry, for the aviation is now known as The Cavalry of the Air"
 You note a hat cord that is scarce in this section; orange and white, the cadets being distin- guished by wide white hat band. Flyers who have qualified as pilots wear the beautiful out spread silver wings on their breast. while the observers wear but single wing Only officers are allowed to fly; or rather one should say that all men who be- come graduate flyers given commissions as officers.
 Undoubtedly the first fact that would impress the visitor from Camp Pike or the other canton ments would be that all the build ings at Eberts Field are painted. the hangars all white and the other buildings white with red roofs. There is an air of perma nency about the camp, and you learn that the hangars and ma chine shops have cement floors. All buildings are frame but in the future all hangars will be all steel construction.
 Major Patrick Frizzell is com mandant at Eberts Field and Major Geo. H. Peabody is in charge of the instructors and the cadets. At headquarters I was asked to say that at no time will the Field be open to sightseers, and that passes to enter the grounds will only be given to those who have a legitimate req son for same. Not even the men are allowed to approach the han gars unless on special duty or as signment. A pike road will be built entirely around the field and it will be possible to watch the flyers from the sidelines, but there will be no chance to get on the field or near the machines in the open or in the hangars.
 Twelve hangars have been

lures, etc. and will be equipped with a moving picture outfit. And there are the usual equipment of writing desks, library. reading tables and games. Down at Kel- ley Field the men said they had but little time to visit the Red Triangle buildings, but it is very certain that at Eberts Field it will be the center of all the rec reationa, activities of the men.

completed and will house from eight to ten machines at pinch,
 but the regular number is six each. That means 72 machines. and the big storage building will hold crated as many more. A force is constantly at work un- crating aeroplanes and tuning up the machines. and the whir of the powerful motors and the swish of the big two-bladed propellors can be heard at any time as they give them the most exacting tests.
 On the under and upper side of each wing of an aeroplane is the United States emblem, huge white five pointed star in a white circle. The background of the circle is blue and a great red dot ! fills the center of the star. It re

 Practically all of the tfficers and men are from Kelley Field at San An" and tickled to death at the change They say the mud at Kelley Field is the stick fest mud in the world. The men are we'll cared for at Lonoke. This is not soldering" said one of the men, We have sheets on our beds, and lockers for our clothes. When the camp is completed there will be not less than 500 men there. Owing to the special nature of their work there is little drill, and it seems land looks more like big factory plant with the men in uniform, rather than a military post. Of course there is a Y. M. c A. building and enough secreta- ries to care for the religious and social needs of the men It does not require one of the big double buildings that are so common at Camp Pike, but has single room of the type used for the officers and at the base hospital. It has a stage for entertainments, lee
