The larger radio set, called the
liaison unit, has q normal reliable
range Of 750 miles and is operated by
. radio man.
The radio room has . door directly
behind the co-pilot's seat. The COM
manding generals ONCE Is directly
behind the radio room. In addition
to the door joining the radio-pilot
units and the ofllce Of Maj. Gen. An
drews, . sliding panel, within arms
length, keeps the commanding Of
flcer and the radio operator within
reach Of each other.
The liaison radio unit operates
either by voice, continuous wave or
tone modulated continuous wave. It
is powered by q 50-ampere generator
and q large storage battery. The
generator is hooked to one Of the
two 710-horsepower engines and sup
plies energy for the radio sets when
the plane Is in the air. Should the
commanding general ground his flag
ship for any reason the battery will
supply sufficient energy for about two
hours continuous operation.
In addition to the transmitting
equipment, the airplane has direc-
ton finding radio loop and q homing
device which enables the pilot to
follow the radio beam Of any broad

THESE climbs are prosaic enough at
the lower attitudes, but become
more difficult above $4,000 feet. In
spite Of the use Of oxygen, mental and
physical reactions slow down until
focusing attention on an instrument or
jotting down q reading seems to re-
Quire an enormous amount of effort.
A few years ago Lieut.. Julian Had
den dropped his pencil while flying at
$4,000 feet. In order to reach down
to the floor he had to remove the
oxygen breather from his mouth. Be-
fore he could straighten up he had
passed out When he came to he
found himself at 5000 feet in a power
dive. with the plane on FIRE. He pulled
out of the dive and battled the flames
several minutes, but was forced to
jump at 600 feet.
After the climbs level flights are
made to determine top speeds at vari-
GUS attitudes. Then come fuel con-
sumption and oil-cooling tests. Multi
motored planes are tested for their
ability to operate on a single engine.
In the take-of it is noted how far
the plane must run before the wheels
leave the ground, and the distance
then necessary to clear a 50-foot OBJ
stacle.
Landing tests are then made to
determine how long q runway is
needed to clear a 50-foot obstacle,
land, and come to q complete stop.
In the case of bambardment airplanes,
the landing tests are conducted with
the gross weight reduced by carrying
only one-half of the specified fuel
load and no bombs.
With from half gallon to a gallon
Of gasoline per minute being con-
sumed by the engine, which in

a few feet from the pilot. it is i'm
portant that no exhaust gases enter
the cockpit. Special tests, to deter
mine the presence of carbon monox-
ide, are made with a detector fur
nished by the Bureau Of Mines. A
concentration Of .05 per cent of this
gas is considered dangerous, yet it
is not uncommon to find a concentra-
ton in excess Of rs per cent. Several
fatal accidents, mostly in high-speed
Jobs. have been attributed to the pilot
being overcome by these fumes.
THE final test is to determine that
all equipment will function prop
erly Bomb racks and releases, ma
chine gun mounts. cameras, smoke
screen apparatus. and other installa-
lions must be tried out in flight.
Even so simple thing as skis for
landing on snow sometimes present
serious difnculties. Last year Capt.
Irwin was testing a Boeing pursuit
plane equipped with skis. While driv-
ing at $50 miles an hour, the front
end Of one ski became lose, and the
wide surface. dangling broadside in
the air stream. made the plane I'M

It required all Of Twins strength
to hold the stick back while the ship
continued its dive-to pull. out was
impossible. He had to jump. but
doubted II he could stand exposing
his head to that terrific wind. He
decided to double himself up in rs

possible for a six-foot man. and roll

The ship also has an automatic or
robot pilot Maj. Gen. Andrews said
he could couple the homing device
and the robot pilot-it has been done
experimentally-but he prefers to de-
pend upon manual control of the flag
ship.
MAJ. GEN. ANDREWS is a good
~ pilot himself. His successive
promotions to that of commanding
general of General Headquarters Air
Force has not stopped him in this
regard. He flies the flagship vir-
tually all the time, although he has
an enlisted man as co-pilot who takes
the controls when the general is in
his "ofhce" directing maneuvers over
a wide area.
Practical tests are being made here
at Langley Field virtually every day.

flagship into the air, surrounded by

Although the flying flagship is alb
solutely without means Of defense
within itself, some measure Of protec-
ton Is afforded its occupants by the
parachute equipment. Each man
aboard must wear the parachute

At the exit door is a rack full Of

The apparent success Of the flying
flagship has been so great and the
future possibilities so many that the
air force has placed orders for two
more similar planes. They will cost
S85, 900 each and will be located tenn
porarily at Boiling Field.
Although no comment has been
made by the War Department, this
development seems to foreshadow the
day when each wing commander Will

Gen. Andrews Becomes Part
of Fighting Force in
Line of Battle.
Bv H0vf Barnett.
.HE first flying flagship In the
world is ready at Langley Field,

TINE nrSt hying flagship IN the
world is ready at Langley Field,
Va, today to roar into the air
4 and carry a commanding gen.
eral into the thick of battle. where he
will direct and coordinate his forces
to sweep enemy planes from the sky.
The flagship, twin-motored Doug
las, was ordered for, and equipped by,
Maj. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, COM
manding general of the CHG Air
Force.
Instead of an earth bound officer,
Maj. Gen. Andrews becomes an In
tegral part Of the fighting units, issu-
ing orders on the battle front based
on personal observation and radio in
formation coming into his flagship.
Now, for the first time In history. It
Is possible for the commanding gen.
eral Of the Air Force to direct his
maneuvers In precisely the same way
an admiral directs his battleships,
cruisers. airplane carriers and sub
marines upon given objective.
This flying flagship IS not fight
ing unit in itself. It carries no arma-
ments. But the twin-motored Doug
las mas . top speed OF 205 miles an
hour, cruising speed Of ITS miles and
q service ceiling Of 23.2o0 feet-well
out Of range Of anti-aircraft guns.
The significant point Of this devel-
opment Is that the Army apparently
Is placing an increasing amount Of
faith IN aircraft to stop aircraft, In
stead Of anti-aircraft artillery.
The second point Is that this inno-
walton may end the adage. Generals
die in bed" because. despite the speed
Of this flying flagship and the protec-
ton It Is given by pursuit planes. there
Is . real danger In aerial warfare.
Maj. Gen. Andrews realizes the
danger. But he believes the advan-
tage Of being In a position to super
wise and coordinate the defense Of the
country more than offsets the per-
sonal danger to the commanding ON
Ger.
The flagship Is equipped with two
radio transmitters, q compartment for
the commanding general. q larger one
for the chief Of star, Col. Hugh j.
Knerr, and for the information chief,
supply chief and tactics chief.
In addition. there Is buffet lunch

from bending his outf1unp arm to

up his left arm, which had remained
close to his body, for back-hand pull.

of the test pilots work, the devil-may-

Prelude the dinner with Q well chilled fruit cup and crisp salty wafers. Then serve Q generous platter of broiled lamb chops and tender new potatoes.
