leaders in the market, Air Reduc-
stion is looked upon by its
sponsors as having in no way

close to $4,000, 900 in 1929. A
difference of almost $50 per cent.

How TO Fly
LESSON NO. 81
OF The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
LESSON NO. 81
AerOnduticdL Enqineer

;. Without any doubt there is no
greater aid in flying than the
instruments to be found on the
atrplane instrument board. It is
very hard at first to make the
student understand the great
value of these flight aids, as well
as it is difficult to make him
trust them.
Distrust in aircraft instruments
have, indeed, caused many a bad
erack-up and has cost many lives.
1t is believed that many of
the transOceanic flight failures
. Is due to no other reason than
that the pilots have distrusted
their instruments and have
tried to fly according to In
stinct.
It is very difficult flying in a
heavy fog for even the exper-
fenced pilot to tell the position Of
his craft, regardless of what it
may be: however, by glancins at
his f0re' and aft level indicator
and turn and bank indicator he
may at once tell his position of
flight,
Modern aircraft all have in
strlIInent boards carrying certain
standard instruments. A we'll
equipped craft may carry such
instruments as may be found
necessary In average flight. 1t is
only through the application of
I such instruments that the pilot is
able to tell what his plane and
motor are doing. It is necessary
that the pilot be in constant con-
tact not only with the position Of
his craft relative to the ground,
but it is also quite necessary that
he know what his power plant is
doing or what it Is expe:ted to
do. The more complete check
the pilot has on his craft and
motor, the greater are his chances
for q successful flight.
Ability to understand and read
aircraft flight indicators Is a
very necessary part Of the sue
cessful pilots makeup. 1t is
very difficult here to explain each
instrument used on the modern
airplane, but q review Is given
of those thought to be Of great
est Importance to the average
flyer.
Those instruments used as di.
rect aids to airplane control we
have already learned to be the
turn and bank indicator, the
rate Of climb indicator, the pitch
indicator, the air speed indicator
and the altimeter. The turn and
bank indicator shows the pilot
the exact number of degrees his
craft is banking or turning to
the right or to the left. The
rate Of climb indicator shows the

miral Andrews relief, as well as the

not be finally decided upon until after
Secretary of the Navy Adams returns
to Washington from the London Naval

deal depends upon what captains are

Five oficers Of the Navy, all COM

War College, this city, be assigned to
duty in the District of Columbia, four

are as follows: Comdrs. Thomas j. Kin
kaid, Navy general board; Homer H.
Norton, fleet training division; George
A. Theobold, naval operations office,

Closer relationship between the hum
dredS of Naval Reserve officers in the
city is urged in a letter sent these men
by B. M. Coleman, a lieutenant, Junior
grade, in the 1st Battalion. United
States Naval Reserves of the District
of Columbia. He says that Congress-
has enacted the necessary legislation.
and the Secretary of the Navy has pre-
scribed the required regulations. to
make the United States Naval Reserve
a component part of the United states
Navy, with its superb reputation for
efficiency, thoroughness and generosity
in achievement.
To make the United States Naval
Reserve an effective component part
of the Navy, however, he saws, REQUIRES
a harmonious cooperation of the en-
tire officer personnel of the Reserve
This must be accomplished in peace
time if it is to be effective in war.
This can be accomplished, he points
out, only through personal contact and
purposeful cooperation of the officers
of all classes of the Naval Reserve
through the Association of Naval Re-
serve Officers OF the District. and he
has extended an. invitation to all Re-
serve officers to join.
He points out that whether assigned
to the feet, the volunteer or the
merchant marine reserves, they never
theless are in the Reserve, and that
there are opportunities offered through
the local association to assist and to
be assisted in perfecting yourself in
dividually and the United States Naval
Reserve generally to become more eff
fective.
There are three classes of the Naval

known as the neet, which has weekly
assemblies for drill purposes. There is
the second class, known as the Volun-
teer Reserve, the members of which
are not required to put in any time
at regular drills, but who are subject
to immediate call in time of war. and
a third class, the Merchant Marine
Reserve, made up of men who follow
the sea in regular employment. 1t is
the belief that closer contact through
the officers Of these various grades,
through the Reserve Officers Associa-
ton would be mutually beneficial to all
concerned. The local branch of the as
ISOLATION meets regularly at the local
feet Reserve armory, at which there
are discussions of various Naval Reserve
problems in an effort to reach solu-
tons which will result in building up
the entire personnel of all classes.
