 Thachs address was the highlight of the graduates first day at the gunners' school, where for the next two weeks they will receive an in- tenSive course in aerial gunnery.
 That will be followed by exten- sive workouts in patrol bombing at Cecil Field and Daytona Beach; torpedo bombing from Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale; f1ghter-plane instrupction at Lee Field and at Melbourne; land-baseG bombers from Sanford and Like City, and in observatino and cruiser scout planes from the Jacksonville main station.
