Pennsylvania Natioal Guard was distinctly successful. says Major General William G. Price. Jr, divi- sion commander.
 Since organization of the 103rd observation squadron and the 103rd photo section in 1924 these units had gone for training to Langley field. Va. and had not functioned with the division troops, as would be required in time of war, until the recent innovation.
 This summer they were stationed at the army air depot at Middle te <n, IS miles distant. and daily flew to the camp to perform scouting missions. to photograph entrench- ments and to signal information by radio or visual signs to troops on the ground.
 Although the pilots, observers and photographers of the units are ci- williams, like the other national guardsmen, and their practical ex- perience is more limited than that of regular army fliers, the casualty list in the air forces of the guard is small.
