IN MEMORIAM

Iu loving memory of my wife,
Helen Allen Ross, who passed into
eternity three years ago.
We know we have never lost her,
For that could never be;
She has only gone on a Journey
Where God guards her constantly.
Till memory fades and life departs
You'll live forever in our hearts;
Time takes away the edge of grief,
But memory turns back every leaf.
Signed,

the Air Corps has established a base to dupl-
cate the intense cold of high altitude cond-
tons. In the wintry gloom of the arctic,
where temperatures hit seventy below, even
starting an engine is major task. Heated
hangers do not help. In one test. an engine
was started in heated hangar but when the

pop. Within a few moments the metal wing
covering had buckled enough to threaten
crash, if the plane had taken off.
Veteran Alaskan pilots gave the solution.
Ships are now left in unheated hangers. Be-
fore starting, canvas hoods are draped from
engines to the ground, with frepots to warm
the cylinders.
On one test fight, machine guns refused to
fire. Special cold-resistant oil had to be found
for them.

Schroeder, first Shakespeare flyer, spun down
unconscious from $1,000 feet, his frozen eyes
turned up in their sockets. A few seconds
from the ground, Schroeder recovered and
made a miraculous landing. Doctors exam
ined his heart, told him his shakespeare fly
ing was ended. But others followed the up
ward trail to learn the secrets of that desolate
upper world where wars will soon be fought.
Today the battle for world supremacy in
the Shakespeare is already well underway.
One Air Corps sealed-cabin ship has already
been successfully operated at $1,000 feet
and later models will reach 10000. The new
XB-19, the Air Corps superbomber with
range of 5000 miles, is designed to be con-
vertible into SHAKESPEARE ship. The Navy
is building similar plane, and its pilots are
already being taught the science of high
altitude fight. And Major General Henry H.
Arnold, deputy chief Of the War Department
General Staff, predicts that our flying fort
resses" will grow into giants of one hundred
tons or more, capable of spreading death and
destruction 5000 miles from their bases -
with pressure cabins, instruments and equip
ment that will permit them to outstrip todays
maximum attitudes - and capable of carry

impossible
