It's . great day for England's ''pOwderpuff" alrplane mechanics, Taking to the air for the first time, above, they are riding in the ob- servers seats in R. A. F. planes that they seFvlce-lea1mlng first hand of the importance of their tasks. At left is a closeup of some of the girls, members of the
 Women's Auxiliary Air Force.
 "Now we realize more than ever how much depends on our accu- racy and attention to the minutest detail" said one of the girls when each of the planes had made Q perfect landing. "Now, too, I understand something of t h e function and working of the dials on the instrumental board"
 Then, spontaneously:
 "T wouldn't change jobs with anybody. I am crazy about flying now"
 The engineer officer in charge of the training course for girl flying mechanics praise them to the skies. DO THEIR JOBS
 AS WE'LL AS MEN
 "They are utterly dependable and so tremendously conscientious" !" he declared. "Nothing is too much trouble and they are extremely do- cile pupils. Some of course, are quicker to grasp certain elements than others, but on the average they are every bit as capable of turning out good job as any man, while for initiative, endurance and courage, they take lot of beating"
 Neither the exhaustive tests, the hard work or the relatively long training will deter them. For, to all these Englishwomen, this is just another way of beating Hitler.
