PLANES TO GATHER
AT LEGION MEETING
Greatest Concentration of Aircraft
Planned at San Antonio
Convention.

Plans for the greatest concentration
of aircraft in the history of the country
are being made in connection with the
coming convention of the American
Legion in San Antonio. Tex, october 8
to IL. Every pilot in the Nation is to
be invited to attend and acccptances
have been received from some of the
country's most famous flyers.
Personal letters will be sent to every
pilot listed by the Department OF Com
merce, in addition to invitations extend
ed at the national air races now IN
progress in Los Angeles. The War De-
partment will be represented by some
of the best Army pilots. The depart
ment has been requested to order every
wartime pilot still in the service to San
Antonio for a great reunion OF war
pilots.
The allied governments are 3eing in
vited to send a squadron each, made up
so far as possible of World War flyers
Service squadrons also are being invited
from Mexico, Cuba and Canada.
On "air day" of the convention week
the Legion committee will seek a new
record for air-mail shipments from one
city in a single day. Col. Charles A
Lindbergh, who has accepted an invita-
ton to attend will be among the ia
NOUS pilots who will be asked to fly the
mail on that day. The visit of Col
Lindbergh to San Antonio will be his
first since he trained at Brooks Field i'll
1924 and 1925.
Two big air shows are to be held at
Winburn Field, displaying at least one
ship of every type used in commercial
or civilian flying in this country. Army
types will be exhibited at Kelly Field.
Cities all over Texas are being marked
to guide the aviators. Emergency fields
are being provided and adequate serv-
icing of planes will be provided at these
and the regular fields. Six hundred
Army and civilian airplane mechanics
are to be on hand. Blue prints of tha
regular and special fields will be mailed
to every pilot.

without stalling. They must be able to
land and to take Off in field 100 feet
long, over an obstacle 80 feet high.
which means climbing and landing at
sleeper grades than are possible today.
They must be able to right themselves
at any speed in gusty air with the con-
trolls left free. They must be absolutely
comfortable If the engine fails In any
flying attitude. 80. .
ANY plane that meets the acid test
of these requirements will be pretty
safe ship" says Harry Guggenheim. 1T
will 60 a long way toward making flying
not only a young mans game but every
body'S game, like automobiling From de-
velopments now taking place there Is
every justification for believing that
planes will be produced in the near
future that will satisfy the require
ments of the competition"
BY such means as these the younger
Guggenheim and the older Guggenheim,
his father, hope to help the world get
the air mind and the air habit. There
is probably no one in America better
fitted to do this work. Harry Guggen-
helm is theorist as we'll as an expert
enced flyer.

Flying Much Safer Than
Average Man Realizes, Head
of Fund Declares.
EVERY MOVE PRACTICAL
"He Is Not One of Those
Visionaries," Col. Lindbergh
Says of Copper Heir.
BY COVE HAMBIDGE.

Harry F. Guggenheim, president O
the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for thu
Promotion of Aeronautics, might have
been another big business man among
big business men, copper king like hi:
father and his uncles and his grand
father But he was bitten by that
inSidious microbe that drives a
man to do something for hui
man advancement. Life, he thought, Is
a search for happiness: man Is hap
piest when he loses himself in some
thing bigger than his own individuality
Il can't lose myself III business ne salo
but 1 can lose myself in some kind oil
pioneering human service" He thre"
himself into advancing the day wnen
the world will be Oh wings
1t is the day when the average man
will fly that Harry Guggenheim visions
and works for. Flying. properly under
taken. is safe with our present planes
for passengers behind a trained pilot,
he says. 1T is very much safer than
most Americans realize. Most OF the
tragedies you read about have no con-
nection with commercial flying. They
are the results of pioneering Scientlhc
work, stunt flying. or military flying
all of which are sometimes necessarily
risky. Statistics of millions of miles OF
passenger air service show that acci-
dents under the right standards of oper-
alton are practically unknown" But
Harry Guggenheim looks forward to the
day when expert pilots will be no more
generally necessary than expert chauf-
feurs. The air will buzz with planes,
and factories will turn them out as they
do automobiles.
He is not one of those Missionaries,
though, who look so far ahead that
they can't see the present" Col. Lind
bergh remarked to me. Every move
he makes is practical. He has a Pc
culiar way of hitting the nail on the
head. Take that financing of aeronau-
tic courses and laboratories in four or
five American universities, one of the
first things done by the Guggenheim
Fund. There was nothing they could
have done for aviation as apt and
timely as that Take the Safe Aircraft
ought to result in a
ship comparable to the automobile for

Its purpose as fleet spotting craft.
The OLD is the pathfinder and
pacemaker for a policy in the Navy
that calls for its entire aviation force

The .af1phibian Is used extensively in
the ARMY, Navy and Marine Corps,

I Briefly its assignment in the
Navy is feet spotting, target-towing
and general utility work. AS a fleet
/ spotter it completes with the O-2-U
! (Vought Corsair), but is limited in
{ its operations at the present time

putting facilities aboard all large
ships, for its large hull.

AVlATORS DROP MAIL.
Isolated Forest Rangers Get News
papers Regularly.

Two forest rangers at station TO-
600 feet above sea level and with no
communication with the outside world
but a pack trail are getting their morn
ing paper as regularly as a city SUD
scriber because pilots on the Los An
geleS-Seattle mail route make 1t point
to drop papers and magazines as tney

feet above sea level.
The ranger station is known as the
China Mountain Lookout and is in the
Siskiyou Mountains, one of the most
rugged and isolated sections OF the
West.

Americans are naturally 'air-minded

This is the belief of Hans Lubig, air.

to America from the famous Lufthanss
Co. of Germany, which operates ex-
tensive air lines in Europe. Mr.. Lubig
is operations manager for new pas

america already leads the world in
air mail service. The air mail pilots
fly, $4,000 miles daily in all sorts OF
weather and over the most varied ter
ritory," Mr.. Lubig said, and then gave
his views of conditions here and
abroad. within the coming year sew
eral large air transportation companies
will have passenger service lines in
operation. using huge planes of extra
already make up more than half of the
total number of patrons of most of the
European airlines. In 1925 rs per cent
of the passengers carried by the Luf-
thanSa were Americans.
Geographical conditions, especially
in the Middle West and western parts
of the country, are highly favorable Tor
passenger air service.
"Cities and towns are located conSid-
cradle distances from each other, In
comparison to those of the Eastern
States or Europe. Landing fields are
conveniently close to the central por-
tons of the cities in most cases.
Time is money. A business trip,
say, from Oklahoma City to st. Louis
can be made in about four hours OF
pleasant riding in safe plane, high
above the dust heat and discomfort
of ground travel, with much beautiful
scenery below. The alert American
business man is going to make the trip

Drunken Pilots Not Wanted.
As prohibition is very much absent
In Germany one may well wonder how
a big aviation company like the Luf-
thanSa maintains its mervelouS record
for safe flying by. Skillful, sober pilots.
Drinking pilots are VIGOROUSLY reckless.
There is no rule against the German
pilot drinking a glass of beer, or a few
glasses for that matter-or even OF
schnapps But when he goes to step
into his plane he must always be ready
to submit himself to a simple eXamina-
ton by the airport physician. The
doctor lifts the pilots eyelid, looks into
the pupil of the eye to see If 1t is
properly focused so that the vision Is
clear, and the matter is settled!

George Haldeman, pilot of Ruth Ed

when he set his plane down out there

Lindbergh Near Danger.

Charles Lindbergh, once known as
"Slim," was very near disaster in his
flight from Washington to Mexico
City-much nearer than he, at first, or
any one else realized, according to the
story told the writer by young Mexi-
can army aviator.
when word came to us that Lind
bergh was overdue and probably lost on
his way to Mexico City, and after we
had waited several hours, Emidio Car
rama and several others, including
myself. few out to look for him.
I'VE found him circling over some
mountains a few hundred miles from
Mexico City, evidently looking for q
landing in a rough valley. We caught
his eye just in time. Carranza sailed
out in front of him and the two other!
of us made a formation and started
escorting him back.
THE air currents in that valley are
some of the worst in Mexico. II III

going to do, he would have faced fair

Statements by the pilots in the cross
country nonstop race that the affair
would do much good to aviation still
hold good. This is in spite of the
fact that of all nine entrants only Art
Goebel reached Los Angeles, and he did
it only after being forced down for more
gasoline in Arizona.
Although this nay not hold true from
q publicity agents standpoint, the fact
remains that in every case so far re-
ported of a., plane being forced down
a definite cause was located, and de-
signerS are already working on ideas
which will remove the defects and some
of the natural hazards which caused
the men to- fall short of the high goal
they had set for themselves.
