.CAA Pilot .Tra;nees Hitting
 ferries Hard'

WASHINGTON - TWo-thirds of the American Eagle Squadron in England learned to fly in the Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion's pilot training program, ac- cordirg 10 word received by the CAA from Pilot Officer Harold Strickland, Chicagoan now sta toned at London as a member of the American Eagle Squadron, RAF.
 Strickland says he find it am aging" that many of the boys who are now hitting the ferries hard hoped off on their first solo flight in CAA Cub about 12 months ago-and today can fly a tight formation, in Hurricanes in the clouds
 Emphasizing the important les son to the American military fore es of mass wartime aViation,' ' Strickland stated that "its a good thing that reservoir like the CAA is set up for them to draw from as a starter.'
 The CAA training program, be gun in 1889, has fed more than 10000 of it's students to the Army and Navy air forces and, in all, has created more than 55,000 new pilots. Almost 15,000 students are currently enrolled at more than 500 colleges. and other centers.
 Asserting that T have seen no thing that reflects on the CAA courses" Strickland cites this eX ample of performance by CAA graduates with the American Eagles:
 "Yesterday we were on a Squadron search at attitudes. At 25,000 feet we went into tight formation and flew through the clouds, then let down. When we made contact we were all in cor rect positions"

A GOOD SET HELPS!

You can't make a silk purse out of soW's ear.
 Nor opines co-columnist 1st Sgt. Robert B. Woodside (Air- craft Warning), can you expect a tiny competition set to give pro fessional performance.
 Good reception, Wodside in sists, calls for good receiver. And cutting corners on costs is penny wise, pound foolish.
 A good commercial receiver, selling for about the same price as a broadcast receiver 0but with fewer fancy mahogany trim mings), is fine for those who wish quality and distance.
 It will receive on all wave lengths, Woodside explains.
 Whats more, stations that are scrambled together into a pot pourri of caterWauling on an or dinary receiver can be separated by "side-band tuning" sep arated at cleanly as dollars in Angus McSwizzle's purse.

ANTENNA TIPS AID AIR FANS

The old fashioned outside an tenna is in style again.
 To be honest, it was never out in Alaska.
 In the States, according to 1st Sgt. Robert Woodside, (Aircraft Warning), the trend has been to loop antennas hidden in the in nards of the set.
 In Alaska, however, better dis tant reception comes through the use of a good outside antenna. Get il up. Lnsulate il well. Use the best ground connection you can get (since it helps to shush the frying).
 And, if you can, Sgt Woodside urges, run the wire north and south or northeast and southwest to get the most 'oomph" from the states.
