The United States army air service

on duty at the various fields in the
United States to take flying training.
These men have been placed On

The cadets are given thorough

they take their actual flying training.
The entire course covers period of
from nine months to one year during
which time the cadet draws 500 per
month.
During the world war the allies and
even Germany used many enlisted fly
ers over the lines and the United
States was the single exception. Many
of the Americans in the Lafayette Es-
cadrille were enlisted men and re-
manned enlisted men until they were
taken over in the American air serv-
Ice. whereupon they were commits

service to allow all enlisted men who
so desire to take flying training.
The cadets, upon the completion of
their training. are commissioned in the
aviation section of the signal reserve
corps as airplane pilots and are given
the preference to either receive their
discharge or return to duty as enlisted
men with the privilege of wearing
wings. A great majority of the cadets
have signified their intention of stay
ing in the service after the completion
of their training. AT the present time
about $50 men are on the waiting list
for flying training.
In view Of the increased facilities
for training, the army air service In
the near future will be ready to accept
candidates from civil life who desire
to take a course of training for air.
