Miss Falkenau and Mrs Jondreau will
teach pilots who have completed their
contact course-who know how to fly
In open weather-but who have not had
chance to learn instrument flying.
The vast extent of the Army's aviation
expansion is emphasized by its extensive
use Of commercial airline facilities. This
schooling is only one phase of the
service which Pea and other systems
are giving the military.
Time was, not so long ago, when no
airline executive would have thought
Of giving a ground-to-air communica-
tions job to woman. Yet Miss Wini-
frede Cutler Is holding down such post.
She sits at big board and talks to the
Pea airliners, noting down where each
Is at given moment. And she seems to
take her exacting job as coolly as if
she'd always done it.
Miss Gufler is from Emporia, Kans..
and she used to be-of all things-a
kindergarten teacher. She took the
communications course at the Midland
School at Kansas City and thus qualified
for the work she's doing.
There are other women in the COM
munications section doing various essen
tial things.

Army's Music School, -Four women grad

There is an entrance examination Of
candidates, with attendance on the
three-month course limited to IS. There
were 600 applications for the present
class. OF the IS who graduated recently,
all except one were graduates of univer-
sites, colleges and conservatories. I'VE
are getting the cream of the cream"
remarked Capt. Darcy. While candidates
may enter between 81 and As, the average
age of the future Army band leaders Is
25 years.
Capt. Darcy is popular with his men
because he is always encouraging them to
become better musicians. Asked about
Hot Lips" Levine and Freddy Woolston,
both big-timers in the civilian music
world, Capt. Darcy revealed the spirit
that permeates his organization.

Women to Teach Army Officers Air Navigation

feminine excursions into fields formerly
reserved for men, it should not be sup
posed that the gals are taking over
They're merely helping in some ex-
tremely important spots. Men skilled
through years Of experience in the ways
of planes are guiding the work Of keep
ing commercial airliners in operation at
this crucial time.
Tour of Pea Shops.
Army planes often slip into q Pea
hangar for repairs. And the military
authorities borrow a commercial plane
whenever they may need it. Commercial
airlines, in fact, have become important
cogs in the military machine. They are
always at the service of the Army or the
Navy, around the clock.
The .airliners' engines are overhauled
at regular intervals, whether they need
1t or not. An exciting point in a tour
through the Pea shops is the place
where they test out the reassembled
engine, which looks like new when 1t
emerges from multitude of cleansing
and probing operations. Here the giant
creature is set in motion at various
speeds up to its full capacity, while,
behind window, an expert tests its
efficiency-its response to demands-on
instruments.
Pea Headquarters Here.
Pennsylvania Central, the only airline
with general headquarters in Washing
ton, recently celebrated its 10th an
niversary. It now employs more than
1900 persons, and aside from the Gov
ernment, is the Capitals major industry.
This airline moved its headquarters
from Pittsburgh On April 26, 1912. Its
president, c. Bedell Munro, youngest of
any airline's top executive, has proved,
he feels, the policy of the short haul"
by air. Thus, he points out, cities not SO
far apart have been drawn together Just
as the continent has in the longer hauls.
His line has routes totaling $500 miles
and serves 40 cities in II Eastern,
Southern and Midwestern States. 1t
remains the only transport company
which originates and terminates most of
its flights at the Capital
Pea has six schools for the training of
navigators, radio operators, pilots and
mechanics. Many OF its planes have
been delivered to the fighting services.
Others are being modified in the shops
to meet changing war needs.
The airline eventually grew out Of
the Pittsburgh -McKeesport Airport Co.
which Clifford A. Ball, pioneer aviation
operator, started in the middle 192Os.
This was expanded until the company
obtained q contract to carry mail be-
tween Pittsburgh and Cleveland, when it
became known as Clifford Ball, Inc. J.
J. Donovan, present vice president in
charge of trAfic for Pea, served with
the Clifford Ball line and thus saw its
evolution into the present company. nth
ranking airline Of the country.

Two very personable young women
soon will be instructing Army officers
in the higher arts Of air navigation
at Pennsylvania Central Airlines head
quarters, National Airport.
Women thus enter new field in the
constantly expanding sphere of their
war activities. Perhaps they'll yet be
appointed top sergeants to teach
rookie soldiers-not meaning WAACS or
WAVES, either-the manual of arms
and close-order drill
The two girls at Pea are polishing
OF the final phases of their own courses
and are due in short time to take
over teaching the men in uniform. The
Pea management sees nothing remark
able in the arrangement, and the Army.
after looking the girls over is perfectly
willing.
Pioneers in Their Field.
These pioneers in feminine military
instruction are Miss Janet Falkenau and
Mrs. Mary Jondreau. Both are Army
officers daughters.
Miss Falkenau is a licensed private
pilot and graduate Of wellesley. She
was the second woman to obtain a
license in Puerto Rico. She has lived
largely in Washington and is a native
OF Westchester County, N. Y. Her
father, Col. Robert M. Falkenau, is sta
toned at present in the Quartermaster
Generals Office.
Mrs. .Jondreau Is not a pilot, she
insisted. But she has taken to the
navigation course as proficiently as one
who knows planes thoroughly. She is
the daughter of Col. F. G. Knabenshue,
retired. Mrs. Jondreau said that, like
many Army daughters, she had no
home" 1t was here today, in the Phil
ippines tomorrow, in Panama next. Her
father was not flyer, but an uncle,
Roy Knabenshue. was pioneer lighter
than-air pilot, listed as the first man to
fly the prototype of the modern dirigible
Since they know Army life, they are
regarded as having the right background
for the Job they've undertaken.
Rounding out their instruction is Ed
ward A. Tape, for eight years Pea
pilot.
Link Trainers.
The room where blind instrument
flying is taught-on a top floor of the
huge hangar which houses the general
of1ces and shops of PCA-is a fasci-
mating spot. The setup is known as
Link"
In the center is plane cockpit,

in actual flying. The student seated in

sergeants receiving medals for heroism,

to sustain morale.

Whenever 1t plays the national an

ton. The remarkable thing is that jeff
Is dog. The Army is training a number
Of dogs for specialized duties, but JEFF
ranks above all the others in point OF
service. He has served as the bands
mascot for 13 years. AS soon as the
strains of THE Star-Spangled Banner"
are heard, jeff rises on his hind legs and
remains "at attention" until the last
note is played.
Music is the No. morale builder, and
the soldiers own band is the sweetest
music for him to hear, and that's the way
1t should be, Capt. Darcy said.
Another feature of the Army Band
when it steps out on dress parade is
First Sergt. George Harrington, drum
major, whose soldierly bearing and IN
cisive commands have won favorable
comment. He, too, is one Of Capt.
Darcys pets"
For music lovers who want more light
on Capt. Darcys background than this
sketch permits, who's Who" has him
listed. He was assistant leader for nine
years and has held the top post of all
Army bands for the past nine year.
Capt. Darcy is more than a musician:
he's humorist, supersalesman, philoso-
pher and au-round good fellow.

Troop Carrier Command Has Big Job

do as we'll in this war as he did in the
first conflict, for in that one he battered
"a Germans out of the skies, pulling
up just behind Eddie Rickenbacker as
Americas second-ranking ace of the war.
I'VE ride these things with one foot
dragging the ground" said TCC major.
In combat areas you don't fly high
for reasons of safety. You literally
hedge-hop vaulting over trees and hills.
You keep low
The Troop Carrier Command was a
year old on April 80, 1943. The organ
ization once known as the Ferry Com
mand and the air cargo division of the
Air Service Command were consolidated
and redesignated as the Air Transport
Command, which now has q ferry divi-
sion and a cargo division. The ferry
division shuttles planes, and the cargo
division carries troops and supplies, in
this country and abroad, outside of the
combat zone Get that outside" of the
combat zone. It's important, for after
that the Troop Carrier Command takes
over.
Fighting Transports.
The TCC is charged with the respon-
sibility of transporting by air, in the
combat theaters, fighting men, their
weapons and supplies. In other words.
the Troop Carrier Command operates
where the Jerry fighting ships, or the
Jap Zeros operate. Airplanes of the
Troop Carrier Command, and their pre-
cious human freight, take the hard way,
in the combat zones where only daring.
courageous pilots will get the valuable
cargo through. Often they operate with
out fighter protection, hedge hopping to
keep well below the view Of the. high
flying enemy fighter craft, and making it
difficult for the enemy to dive on them
without crashing. Usually they get the
cargo through.
Airplanes now in use by this tactical
unit are of the DC-3 type, commonly
used by commercial airlines before the
war. The CAT, so named by the Army,
is wide-door ship, designed specifically
for cargo as well as troop carrying
purposes. The C-53 is used primarily
as troop carrier. Both are twin-engine
ships, with good top speed and wide
cruising range.

You'll find the feminine touch EXTEND
ing into the repair and maintenance
shops.
In the welding department, where old
equipment is repaired and new parts
prepared, there's Miss Ruby Shelton.
She halls from Greenville, Tenn and
she used to be clerk in a county health
Office. She took course in welding.
She likes it fine, she said.
Another of the several attractive girls
in the welding department is Miss Mary
Alexander of Moulton, Ala, who left her
sales counter in a store to take up this
war work.
Assembling Plane Motors.
Even on the line where engines are
assembled after being taken to pieces,
cleaned and overhauled-surely place
for husky men-there are at least two
girls, and they look quite feminine and
are not at all hefty. They help operate
machine that carries out the final as

Miss Alice Harners, from Alabama who
used to work in an Office, and Miss
Winifred Wells, from Massachusetts,, q
former salesgirl.
There are women scattered all through
the repair and maintenance shops, and
occasionally one hops into a .plane
grounded for overhauling to fix some
gadget.
But despite the novelty q these
