NATIONAL GUARD AIR
UNITS INDEPENDENT
Army Assistance No Longer Need
ed, According to Maj.
Gen. Everson.

Aviation units of the National Guard
divisions throughout the country now
arc able to stand on their own feet and
to serve the needs of the Guard for
training purposes without calling upon
the Army Air Corps for assistance, &C
cording to Maj Gen. w. G. Everson,
chief of the Militia Bureau of the War
Department.
AS evidence of the progress made In
equipping and training the National
Guard aviation units, Gen. Everson said,
the plans made by the War Department
for the field training of the National
Guard during the present year are based
on the assumption that all air service
necessary to the training of other arms
of the National Guard can be performed
by the militia air squadronS.
In the past 1t has been necessary to
call on the Regular Army Air Corps to
assist in the training of the Guardsmen.
This assistance has included the towing
of anti-aircraft targets, spotting for field
and coast defense artillery and occa-
sionally ambulance service.
The necessity for calling upon the
Army Air Corps, Gen. Everson said, has
been a burden on the Air Corps, has
been heavy financial burden on the
Militia Bureau and has not afforded
the National Guard aviation units the
practice they should have. The use of
Guard pilots and planes for this service
is expected to result in a saving to the
War Department and an increase in
the efficiency of the militia.

Waged Unseen Fight.

GnrOuRn TuOD6T GuDG WHICH
clogged with ice, Lieut.. Soucek
waged a fight unseen by single
human eye to push his little Navy
fighter up to an altitude where,
beyond any question, no other
man ever had been.
1t must have been a gallant
fight, though you won't catch
Soucek saying anything calcu-
lated to leave that impression. He
is laconic young man and one
of the most modest pilots you will
meet in many year of flying. He
says merely that when he got
above 41,500 feet he apparently
reached the peak of the planes
climb. For 20 minutes he fought
to get above $4,000 feet, but the
air was so thin his propeller could
get no real hold.
He drove the plane up until the
air no longer would support it's
weight and it would fall off on the
verge of spin. Returning to nor
NAL flight, he would force the nose
up again until it fell off. During
this time the altimeter hand Wav-
cred and trembled from the Al 500
foot mark up to and above $4,000
feet. So erratic was the hand and
SO small the graduationS on the
dial that he could not be sure just
what altitude was indicated. He
knew that he had to reach an al
titude of AZ, 122 feet to gain off,
cial recognition for a new world
altitude record. The rules Of
the Federation Aeronautique In
ternationale require that the
former altitude record must be eX-
ceeded by 100 meters before new
record may be recognized as off,
cial. This means 1913 feet, and
that's a lot of feet when you're
as high as Soucek was.
From an altitude of more than
seven miles, according to Soak
en-" as Soucek is known to his
Navy friends, the earth'S surface
begins to lose its familiar aspect.
1t is exceedingly easy to get lost,
and when you get lost that high
you get lost plenty. The miles are
many in every direction, including
straight down, and they can slip
by in a Scandalous manner, espe-
cially when the winds are in excess
of 100 miles an hour, as they often
are.
No matter how clear the air
may seem from the ground, there
is a dense haze when you look
down through it which hlots out
horizons and leaves only a narrow
circle of earth straight below. The
light refracts around this circle
and it is something like looking
down through funnelN Even the
small circle of the earth's face
which remains in sight may wear
a confusing expression.
