Brooks Field Ground School
With a Faculty Of Ex-
perts, Teaches Many Sub
jects Army Filler Must
Know.

Learning TO fly an airplane is not
the only problem of the student ut the
Primary FLYING School at Brooks Field.
While he is learning TO fly he Is also
learning to do many other things. some
of which have no bearing at all on
flying an airplane. But it is not the
object to turn out merely chauffeurs
of airplanes. A pilot for the. army
must be able to perform reconnaissance
duties. read and sketch maps ac-
curately, fire machine guns while in
the air. and many other things. 1t is
in the ground school where these things
are taught and it is in the air where
they are put into practice. The ground
is the class room and the airplane
is the laboratory. As the Primary
Flying School has been cal led the
cradle Of army aviation" being the
only one Of it's kind. so is the ground
school the cradle of the Primary Fly
ing School.
An airplane pilot for the army must
( still know many other things which
may not have anything to do with

has 10 know the why and the where
fore of every part of his plane. what
are the most likely troubles TO de
vclop. and how to remedy them wher
they come lie has to be a mechanic
as well as a pilot. and is taught this
side of flying in the ground school.
In the first place. 1t is not every
one who can get into the Primary
| Flying School. 1t recruits its classes
from officers Of the regular army, ma
tional guard and organized reserve
corps and from enlisted men of -:
army and from civilians. Rigid physi
! cal tests are put to every prospcc
tive student. and unless it is shown
in these tests that he is physically
capable of being a pilot, and possesses
flying qualifications, he is not per
mitted to enter che school.
Education Is Necessary.
Applicants from civil life and frou
the enlisted personnel Of the army ar
further required 30 take educationa
tests unless they can show docu
mentary evidence that they have eithe
graduated from a high school or al
= tended a college or university With

! applicants from the enlisted person

of the go students now at Brooks
Field were recruited from civil life
and from the enlisted personnel of
the army. they must take Il basic Mill
tary course. which is part of their
ground school work. Officers who have
not had this course are also required
to take it. 1t includes CT hours of
infantry drill, eight hours of army
regulations. twenty hours of military
law, eleven hours of army paper work.
five hours Of military hygiene, five
hours of property accounting, six hours
of field service regulations, and ten
hours of manual of interior guard.

Probably the busiest instructor Of
the ground school of the Primary Fly
ing School at Brooks Field is Staff
Sgt. Il. j. Kelly, instructor in meteo
rology, aerial navigation, instruments,
aerial sights and syEchronizing gears.
During the war Sergeant Kelly was
an instructor in infantry drill and
visual signalling at Camp Mcclellan
and Rich Field. He went overseas in
June, 1918, and instructed aerial
gunnery in England and France un-
til the end of the war. On his re-
turn from overseas he was sent to
the naval air station at Pensacola.
Fla. for course of meteorology and
aerial navigation. After completing
this he was sent to the Primary Fly
ing School. then located at Arcadia.
Florida. Since joining the ground
school Sergeant Kelly has instructed
nearly every student entering the air
service since the armistice. including
several field officers Of high rank.

SAN FRANCISCO, August p
Half a dozen of California's show

Although cold weather Is several
