WORK Of AIR PILOTS
AND TROOPS IN TEST.
Communications Where
Practicable Required as Part
of Army ManeuverS.

Communications practice between
Army pilots and ground troops by
means of the ground panel and mes
sage pickup systems has been ordered
by the War Department as a part Of
all maneuvers, wherever practicable, In
which ground and air forces partici-
pate.
Where proper radio facilities are not
at hand the ground panel and pickup
system becomes the only means of COM
munication possible and, as airplane
reconnaissance becomes doubly impor-
means Of communication, the War De-
partment has decided that this system
should be perfected and put into regu-
lar practice.
Methods in Service Outlined.
The dropping Of messages from air
planes to ground troops presents no
dificulty, but the picking up of mes
sages requires experience and the close
cooperation Of ground and air forces.
For field operations the pickup device
Is simple. The ground rig consists OF
100 feet Of strong cord tied in a loop,
to which the message bag is attached.

Pilot Faces Difficulties.
Limited as military airplanes are, in

difficult for the pilot to be able to fly so

A. A. A. TO SERVE
AIR TRAVELLERS
Aviator in Difficulties May
. Call Up Auto Club and
Obtain Service.
BY ALLEN QUINN,
Associated Press Aviation Editor.


The aviator who suffers difficulties
in the future may call up his auto
mobile club and obtain the same service
he would for his car.
An air travel division has been organ
ICED by the American Automobile ASSo-
citation to provide aid and information
to the air traveller and. the aviator.
Instructions for the establishment
of air travel bureaus have gone out to
the more than 1000 AFFILIATED clubs
over the country, which will be pre-
tons concerning aviation and air
travel and to render aid where neces-
Sary.
To Serve Air Travellers.
"There is no doubt" says Ernest N.
Smith, general manager Of the asso-
citation. that thousands Of people are
turning to the airplane as . quick
means Of transportation.
For this reason A. A. A. clubs must
be ready to serve their members who
completely as they serve those who
travel by automobile.
Decision to form the air travel
division is natural step in keeping up
with the travel needs, and while pri-
marily one of service to members, 1t
naturally will do much to promote
aviation.
1.-The more than 1000 A. A. A. clubs,
forming q chain extending into every
section Of the United States, offer
ideal facilities to aid In the promotion
of air travel and at the same time add
to existing services"
Airway Strip Maps.
Through arrangements with the De-
partment Of Commerce and the Navy,
A. A. A. clubs will be prepared to sell
airway strip maps at the nominal price
set by the Government.
Arrangements will be made at cities
on air lines for the sale Of air trans
portation tickets and the supplying
of information concerning schedules.
routes and fares. Plans also have been
made to provide weather information.
Oh1cial A. A. A. garages are to be
tied into the service to render first aid
to the aviator in distress. Such service
has been instituted by several clubs,
and includes tow-in service, furnishing
Of gasoline to flyers who land for lack
of fuel and furnishing mechanics for
repair work and transportation for
pilots who have been forced down.
