development, including all air mail
activities, has cost $4.150 900 during the
10 years since the first air mail flight

The Federal Government has spent

Although the Governments primary

LEE LEADS AIR MAIL

E. Hamilton Lee, who flies the night

air and more mileage on air mail
routes than any other pilot. according
to an announcement by the American

Lee took out the first planes in the

the pioneer stage, and also the air

Weather Information Gathered.
The prime aid. as demonstrated
on the transcontlnental flight, is
accurate weather information.
When the bombers left Langley
Field they had an official report
from Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, N.
c., 240 miles away, and layman
observations from the railway sta
tions along the route. The conSe-
uuence of the inadequate informa-
ton was the necessity for low
flying over thickly wooded and
sWampy land, where forced land
ing was sure to produce a
crack-up.
Then when the take-off was
made from Augusta for Mont
gomery the only information was
about the weather at the other
end of the line, Montgomery.

Capt. Emory S. Land, who has

Bureau of Aeronautics to become
associated with the Daniel Guggen-

a Department of Commerce private
pilots license.
Capt. Land, who is 49 years old,
has flown more than 500 hours in
all types of military planes except
single -seaters, during his seven years
in Washington with the Bureau OF
Aeronautics. In 1922 he qualified
as naval aviation observer" at
the Naval Training Station at Pen

in the air on many cross-country
trips.
However, Capt. Land had never
"soloed." but shortly before his re-
tirement he "sneaked" instruction
at the Naval Air Station at Anacostia
and put in ten hours of solo flying
to qualify him for the Federal IL
cense The license permits him to
fly all types of licensed airplanes,

over the trees when was only a hun
dred feet or so up. It was ticklish buSi-
ness. MY instructor noticed this.
"Try flying a little bit to the left and
straight over that paved road" he ad-
vised.
I did this. I found that, although
the road was only 35 or 40 feet wide,
the air over 1t was considerably smooth
er riding.
The next day made my first solo
fight and got away with it. I had 20
minutes in the air and landing which
was fairly good one. At least nothing
was broken.
When pushed the stick forward and
started down toward the field to land
I experienced the lonesomest feeling
ever had. The job was made harder
for me because of the fact that had
most of my dual instruction, that is,
flying with the instructor along with me
to correct my mistakes, in smaller
plane. The plane I used yesterday had
to be landed from 10 to 20 miles an
hour faster than the type I had been
flying.
I thought I would feel pretty nervous
on starting my first solo, but as near as
I can tell I felt more elated than any,
thing else. While was flying I was
too busy to know whether was nervous
or not, except that painful moment
was all over I felt shaky for a while
and then more confident than ever
have felt about flying.
Once Up Would Stay.
Now that 1t Is all over there doesn't
seem to be so much to tell about. The
weather was smooth and had no trou-
| BILE with bumps. The instructor told me
to take the ship off, climb steadily but
not too steeply, circle the field a few
times and after about Is minutes flying
come down.
Once had got 1000 feet in the air
and was feeling confident was sorry
couldn't stay up an hour, and put that
landing off. When you have learned a
| little about flying, getting altitude is
like having money in the bank. You
know that in case you make an error
you have chance to right the ship and
save yourself if you keep your head.
But down close to the ground things
happen SO quickly at 80 miles or more
an hour 1t is much more dangerous.
Puts on Landing.
AS it was, I put off landing for five
minutes. Then I decided would have
to do it. AS I neared the ground the
field seemed to be rising up to slap me
in the face, but held to 1t. I wanted
desperately to straighten out and circle
the field once again. But knew what
the other students on the ground would
say about that. So didn't.
