THE forest service has been using planes
l. primarily for four purposes: Fire con-
troll, aerial photography, carrying supplies
and rescue work. Last year we also used
planes to dust 350, 900 acres of forest with
DOT in an attempt to kill Tussock moths.
The forest service began using planes in
connection with fire control work as early
as 1920. The late Howard Flint, who was
in charge of fire control in Montana, north
ern Idaho and eastern Washington, expert
mented with using planes to obtain first
hand information about large fires, which

Aerial Mapping
During the period 1882 to 1910 aerial pho
Biography expanded from a small expert
mental project to large scale production.
The best aerial Photographic equipment
obtainable was mounted in the belly of a
plane hired for the purpose, and strip lines
were flown over thousands of miles of ma
tional forest.
The prints were filed for each forest and
are in demand for many purposes. They
are especially valuable for use by timber
cruisers and for fire control work.
The greater number of fires in this region
are started by lightning. When a fire is re-
ported and the location given, it is inn
portant to know what kinds of fuels it is
burning in, whether in green timber or an
old burn, whether there are any fire breaks
that may be used and whether the fire is
burning on steep or flat ground. By using

night by trail or across country depending
on the location of the fire. At the end of a
hard trip to fire he may be in rather poor
condition to do the kind of work that is
often essential to success.
A chute jumper based at Missoula can
probably be placed on a fire almost any
place in Montana or northern Idaho about
as quickly as a ground man can reach the
outside limits of his area. The chute jumper
arrives fresh and better equipped than the
man who has to make the trip on foot carry
ing a pack. If the fire is of any size or rep

can readily determine these factors.
Mountain Landing Fields
We have in this region several large areas
that are inaccessible by roads. The south
and middle forks of the F1athead river in
Montana are good examples. Because of
the size and remoteness of these areas,
planes have been used probably more ex-
tensively in the Flathead forest than in
any other in the region. Within the forest
there are eight landing strips 400 feet wide
and 1900 to $500 feet long. These interior
fields were built by man and mule power.
Some CAA officials nave not been inn
pressed by these landing facilities.
We have often used planes for rescue
work for carrying sick and injured people
out OF remote inaccessible areas. Since
chute jumping has been successfully de-
veloped, the possibilities for rescue work
have been expanded. One paradoctor is now
available to make jumps if necessary to aid
the injured.
Fire Control
BY far the most important use of planes
has been in connection with fire control. AS
previously mentioned the greater number
of fires that occur in this region are caused
by lightning. This is especially true west
of the continental divide. Localized cleo
trical storms often cause a number of fires
in one locality. In order to meet the de-
mands for trained manpower caused by a
concentration of fires it becomes necessary
to obtain personnel from an adjoining or a
distant forest, and planes are very useful
for that purpose. In instances such as 1910
when over 700 fires were set in the region
in one afternoon, forest officers were trans
ported from eastern Montana to western
Montana and from the west coast to west
ern Montana and northern Idaho.
Planes were first used for scouting large
fires and for detection purposes; then we
began to use them to move key men and
supplies to areas of fire concentrations and
to big fires.
Almost anything can be successfully
dropped if properly packed and sent down
with a burlap or other cheaply constructed
chute. We have dropped marine pumps,
crosscut saws, cans of water and cases of
eggs. A bundle of beds or a quarter of beef
gets down without a chute.
Using planes to drop supplies has proven
of great value especially in areas where
there are 10 roads or trails. Men can walk
to q fire, get supplies from the air, put out
the fire, then build the trail necessary 10
pack out equipment.
Smoke Jumpers
With the development of q chute that
could be guided to a certain extent by
manipulating the shroud lines and the use
of a static line for releasing chutes, planes
were put to their most outstanding use
transporting chute jumpers to fires that oc-
cur in remote, roadless areas.
