blue uniforms dot the streets. Their

In letters from England to girls they
met here, the returning aviators dis
close a deep remembrance Of Arizona
and the United States.
"I can remember as If it were yesterday
the masquerade at the Mountain Club,
the campfires on the desert, and the

All the Chinese knew how to fly when
they arrived from their embattled home
land. Some had as many as $50 hours
in the air.
They are learning the American system
OF flight instruction so that they may
return to China and help establish
uniform method Of training pilots. The
Chinese air force is described as hodge
podge on flying tactics because the pilots
have been trained by instructors from
every large nation in the world.
The young Chinese, all well educated
and many from wealthy families, are
serious and intent on their task. They
are seldom seen away from their air field.
The Latin Americans came here to
take a seven-month civilian course
financed by the United States State
Department. The Federal Government
appropriated nearly 100000 for the
Latin American training program as
another step in its good neighbor policy.
Typical of the ambitious Latin Amer
leans is Antonio Montero, jr.. OF Cuba, a
graduate Of Georgetown University and
in the sugar business until he took up
flying.
Veterans Of the foreign contingent and

His Job Is Giving Us World Air Supremacy

Photographs Of 1t. Gen. Henry I
Arnold almost invariably show him Will,
. smile sometimes faint and quizzical
Air Force officers frequently in informal
conversations refer to him as Hap,
q nickname dating back to his West
Point days, although probably not more
than dozen or so classmates and con-
temporaries at the Military Academy use
1t in official conversation. Neither the
pictures nor the nickname is a pose.
They are kind of outward reflection Of
an inward faith in the destiny Of avia-
ton that not even IS years Of discour-
agement could quench.
Last week he was given the Job of
creating the worlds largest air force.
Denoted from head Of an executive de-
partment In Washington some IS years
ago to command of five-plane squad
ron in Kansas as q result of his convtc-
ton that avietion was destined to revo-
lutionize warfare, he is q living example
of the old saying that you can't keep q
good man down.
Looking back, it seems q defiance of
all laws of chance that this tail, pleasant
man, with ruddy, youthful face that
bellies his thinnish gray hair, and bound
less energy that is sometimes the despair
Of his subordinates, should get the
job. He got into the Army by accident,
chose the air service on hunch. He
survived his share of plane crashes and
perhaps more than his share of official
displeasure as disciple of the late Gen.
Billy Mitchell. Nevertheless he has lived
to see justified the faith that like his
smile never left him.
Gen. Arnold does not come Of an
Army family" An Army career was
farthest from his thoughts until his older
brother decided not to accept proffered
appointment to West Point and it was
passed on to him. He burned enough
midnight oil to pass the examinations
and entered the Military Academy in
1908. When he graduated four years
later he was commissioned in the in
fantry.
Army life appealed to him. He served
the usual routine of assignments of a
junior officer, but he was still a second
lieutenant when he stood one warm May
afternoon in 1910 among a group of
officers on Governors Island in New
York Harbor. They were awaiting, If
only half expecting, the arrival of an
aeronaut named Glen H. Curtiss, who
was attempting a fight from Albany
down the Hudson River. While they
speculated on his chances of making
the 143-mile flight, 1t. Arnold recalled
flights he had seen in Paris by Louis
Bleriot, who had flown across the English
Channel the summer before The Army
had bought the Wright brothers ma
chine only last July and was organizing

quantity. He set out to show what could
be done with it. In those days, 1t did
not take an instructor long to impart all
he knew to a student. Gen. Arnold won
his rating in 2 hours and 20 minutes
flying time.
Flights were short and usually made
early in the morning or around sundown
when the air was quietest. He made l40
of them totaling 20 hours his first year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 14.-Behind

Even in this forbidding fortress the

a mystifying interplane conversation in
an Oriental tongue.
With the memory of Japan's surprise
attack upon Pearl Harbor sharply in
mind, officers notified ground defense
forces and rushed fighter planes into

The suspicious planes were traced
quickly. They were American planes
piloted by young Chinese aviation cadets,
innocently making their first training
flights over the Salt River Valley.
A big Chinese contingent is among
what is probably the most cosmopolitan
group Of flying cadets in the United

Ten nations are represented in this

which permit year-around flying, made
the Phoenix area a training center for
