AIR CRASHES IN GROUPS SEEN

American Flyers Excel In Number
of Hours Spent Aloft.

10 months between July !, 1922, and
May /, 1927, there have been II
crashes" accidents of all kinds of
naval airplanes, resulting in ZIG
fatalities. But in these five years
naval aviators flew the prodigious
total of 340,4 ,460 hours. In other
words, the Navy since 1922 has suf-
fered but one fatality for every 1885
hours of flight" achieved by its avi-
ators. During the 10 months between
July /, 1926, and May /, 1927, the air
force of the United States Army (Reg-
ular establishment had 15S crashes"
and 25 fatalities. In that period it
flew 86,745 hours, experiencing only
one fatality for every $40 flying
hours"
Edward p Warner. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy for Aeronautics,. says
the country may rest assured that no
stone is left unturned to produce safety
in the air for both men and equipment.
But it needs to be remembered"
Mr.. Warner points out, that safety

ton
''To spin, to dive, to tilt, to roll and
to loop are operations which the
fighting airman must learn to perform
at will and with skill. To be able to
do any or all of these things in war
fare may mean life or death for the
aviator, and even victory or defeat for
his forces. They are. of course,
hazardous maneuvers, but for aviators
to take the sky in modern battle with
out the ability, in consequence of
hard training, to carry them out
would be about as perilous as to go
into combat blind. Formation flying
is another vital maneuver attended
with danger.
"In every respect" Mr.. Warner
continued, 1.-The planes and the flyers
of today are far superior to those of
the immediate postwar era. Steel has
largely displaced wood in construction
of machines. The danger of fire in

though such things as lightning
strokes will always be unavoidable.
Both in the Army and in the Navy
aviators are subjected to periodical
reaction tests in order that their
physical and psychological conditions
may be re-examined from time to
time and their fitness for continued
flying established. Purely record
flights, to achieve new marks in dis
tance or duration, with consequent
dangers both to men and machines,
are not encouraged. This Is more
properly a field for private enter

Every effort is being made by the
aviation authorities of the United
States Army and Navy to grapple
with 1.-The crash situation" and reduce
fatalities in the air to the lowest pos.
sibIe minimum. For some unaccount-
able reason disasters such as have re-
Gently oyertaken the Navy air force
seem to have habit of occurring in
punches. They are regrettable'in that
form because designed unduly to draw
public attention to the perils of avia-
ton. In fact, considering the inten-
sive and extensive flying constantly
being done by both military and naval
pilots, the number of crashes and at
tendant fatalities is astonishingly
small. They are so rare as to consti-
tute, in the opinion of the War and
Navy Departments, an exceedingly
low price to pay for American pre-
paredness in the air. They are what
our soldiers and sailors call casual
ties of service" inescapable in the
perfection of the national defense
establishment for the emergency Of
war
Now apd then it is asserted that
the United States is falling behind in
the field of military and naval avia-
tion. The exact contrary is the truth.
AviatorS of the American Army and
~Navy are probably reeling off more
flying hours" than their comrades
of the air in any other country. For
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1927,
the United States Army air force will
have 10 its credit something like
10000 flying hours" while the Navy
aviation branch's record for the same
y months will be in the neighborhood
of 100000 hours of flight" 1t is not
likely that the French flying corps,
which ranks as the foremost in Eu-
rope, has carried on approximately as
active a campaign as that during the
past year.
