correspondent says 1t Is quite clear
already that women do not intend TO

when a well known air pilot decide
that the time might be ripe to start
a school for skilled flyers of public
hire ''taxiplanes," he found that half
a dozen of those interested in his
scheme were young. vigorous. and am
bilious women who were keen to en-
ter this new profession of the air..
That a well-qualified woman. men
tally and physically. lacks anything
that would enable her TO be a good
aeroplane pilot was proved not to be
the case even in days far distant be-
fore the war. when the handling of a
flying machine was Infinitely more ar

matter Of fact, with the modern ma
chine growing more and more stable,
and its handling becoming SO much a
question of delicacy of touch. a wom-

The argument that az woman's
nerve might fan her in some emer-
gency has often been advanced. but
II was disproved very neatly only the
h day. A young woman pilot was
undergoing tuition. and was making
n of her first flights alone in the
~aeroplane. when the motor stopped
suddenly.
She was not over the aerodome at
the time. and the moment would have
been an awkward one for even a skill
ed pilot. This woman novice. however
did precisely h right thing, and got
back on to tho flying ground in a
clever glide. which won her tho un-
stinted admiration of her instructor.
As to h sterling courage OF the
airwoman. this need not he doubted.
Just recently. for example. as n test.
a woman ~parachutist went up IN an
aeroplane until it was nearly fifteen
thousand feet above the earth. Then
