Former Selhidge Officer
Sets Amazing Safety Record

COLUMBUS FIELD, Miss,
Feb. "a Col. l.. c. Mallory,
who had nearly three years
service at Selfridge Field, &C
quired an acute sensitiveness to
flying hazards when he became
an Army pilot in 1918. With
over 5000 hours at the con-
trolls, he had never had a serious
accident.
At Columbus Army Air Field,
of which he has been command
ing officer since its inception,
the Colonels sensitiveness TO
hazards has proved to be infec-
tious. Students have flown near
ly $4,000 hours without serious
injury accident since the field
last fatality, August 8, l943.
For any flying field that
would be sufficiently remarka-
Bile; for a two-engine field like
CAAF, II is CONSIDERED unique.
And the Mortality hours con-
tinue to mount.
Col. Mallory manifested his
concern with safe flying when
pilot training began at the new
East Mississippi base in Febru-
airy, 1912.
It was a time OF many bad
weather crashes. Most of them
could have been avoided if the
new Army pilots had been given
adequate training in instrument
flying. Whoever understood a
solution OF the problem was
faced with the unacceptable fact
that the AAF needed the great
