AVIATION
BY FREDERICK r. NEELY.

and this note was received
Taylor Field; yours truly was the
last c. r. o. there"
See the Sights.
On the outskirts of Montgomery
an outstanding building was iden-
tilted by this note, "Kilby Prison,
home for bad mans" Over in
Louisiana the first point of inter-
est was Monroe, and this informa-
ton was given about it by the
lecture pilot" up front:
Huff Dial and cotton busters
have field here. H. r. Harris, first
Army officer to make emergency
jump. is manager" Farther on
came this note, Big Black River;
we are now 1850 miles from
Washington, as the thrush flies.
tThe Thrush is the Boiling Fled
name Of our Ship This note was
followed a short time later by:
And ahead is the pa of waters =
VickSburg. Miss, on your left
ahead"
Over section of Mississippi VIC
flew for miles and miles witt
nothing but dense woods below us
A drop in there and they would
never have found us for g year.
Hence this note: I'VE are now
over Mississippi. A good place to
be from"
Drink Rain Water.
In Texas, this side of Midland,
the air is hot at our altitude and
both occupants of the plane were
extremely thirsty. On the right
was an attractive little town. This
note came back: "Sweetwater:
what I need is wet water; only 100
miles to CO."
At that time the back-seater
was flying the ship. Ahead was a
rain cloud diScharging water over
an area about a mile square. So
for the cooling prospects, the
back-seat flyer kept the ship right
on the course. AS we plunged
through the rain the pilot cupped
both hands over the side, collected
water and consumed it dog
fashion.
An hour or two out of Midland
Tex, bound for the Pacific Ocean,
we passed many oil derricKs
"Thar's oil in this yeare ground,
stranger" read a note. The desc
late Texas ranges were all around
US. Not a soul was in sight. Not
an animal was living in that
region, it appeared.
ooh, bury me not on the lone
parare-e-e." read a note, and this
was followed by, Aren't you glad
you are good boy SO you won't
be left out here?"
Out of Tucson, Ariz.. the air at
1000 feet was like the heat from {:
blast furnace. The faces and lips
of the Thrush's occupants became
bliStered. swollen and cracked.
The air was light. the ship was
heavy and the rate of climb was
exceedingly low. Finally, afte.-'
many minutes of heading for the
sky. the ship leveled off at 10000
feet. where it was comfortable.
On the way up to the cool altitude
Lieut.. Upston wrote this note:
I'VE are certain of going 10
Heaven. for we are doing our hitch
in hell"
The writer does not advance the
foregoing as the best method Of
entertaining the cross country
passenger. However. the effect of
this running fire of notes across
the continent helped while away
the long. tiresome hours of flying.
and incidentally contributed much
heretofore unknown information.

its total weight. including bombs
and equipment. is more than eight
tons. The entire framework of the
plane is metal and the covering is
fabric.
The two engines are geared, and
at 2,400 revolutions per minute each
the propellers turn over about 1900
revolutions This makes it posi-
BILE to use larger propellers. which
are held to be more efficient. The
propeilers are all metal and measure
ID feet in diameter. Each weighs
about 220 pounds.
Immediately behind each engine
and before the gllnners' cockpits is
a 190-gallon fuel tank, while in the
wing is an emergency gravity tank.
which is placed there to extend the
flying radius should the two main
tanks run dry. The landing wheels
Gre 81 inches in diameter and each
is built to carry load of four tons.
The wheels have built-in hydraulic
brakes, which may be worked in
dependently while taXying. The
wheels and tail skid carry shock
absorbing devices.

this note came through: "The
