ATTACK SQUADRON
CONTINUES TRAINING
More Than 300 Hours of Inactive
Flying Recorded by Air
Corps Reserve.

More than 300 hours of inactive
duty flying has been done by the
personnel of the 409th Attack Squad
ron, Air Corps Reserve, with head
quarters at Boiling Field, since July
of this year. The squadron was
reorganized during the latter part Of
September and the present schedule
of flight instruction calls for assem-
bly, of all officers at Boiling Field at
10 am. every Sunday morning under
the direction of Maj. r. E. White
head. squadron commander.
With the cooperation of Lieut..
Col. H. c. Muhlenberg, commanding
officer at Boiling Field, and assisted
by the operations officer, Capt. w. ".
Andrews. improved equipment has
been made available to the squad
ron, including basic trainer planes
equipped for blind flight instruction.
Several officers are participating in
the blind flight instruction and its
scope has been extended to include
the use of the airways radio beacons
maintained by the Department OF
Commerce. The latter aids to navi-
CATION are particularly valuable in
enabling a pilot to locate himself as
to direction from the beacon station.
even though completely lost when
the radio receiver is turned on.
A schedule of night flying on Tues
day and Thursday evenings has been
inaugurated and the squadron has
developed improved technique in
night formations. Daytime flights
have been extended to include recon-
naissance and observation flights in
formation up to three hours dura-
ton without returning to their base
or making intermediate landings.
Mai. Whitehead Is pushing forward
with this active program of flight
instruction because he says that re-
cent experience has shown that at
tack and observation squadrons will
be called on to complete important
and critical missions in the event of
war, due to the increased speeds at
which modern combat aircraft op-
crate.
Plans are under consideration for
the allotment of separate hangar
for the exclusive Use of the 409th
Attack Squadron, enabling that unit
to function as q separate organiza-
ton, which has heretofore not been
possible.
