Show rl a THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH,' UTAH Juvenile Fliers Learn Tricks Of Air Currents on Ground Schoolboys may be too young to fly real airplanes for their country, but they want to learn the principles of aviation in a manner which approaches the thrill of the real thing. v- rT, & A California glider company and Aeronautical Engineer Sign of the Times in Southwest Pacific 1st Sea Lord Feted Vol-m- ar Jensen have created a preflight glider which brings youngsters plenty of thrills and a basic flying technique without risking their necks. With the glider, schoolboys learn to keep a steady course through rushing air currents. They do it on the ground towed by a car going 30 miles an hour. o ; v s V s & Breezing along behind the tow car, the cadet above tries to prevent the glider's wing tips from scraping the ground . Perfectly controlled, the glider will roll smoothly with tail up. Right: Use of these jigs simplifies construction of the glider. Wood parts are fitted in, nailed and glued.

Reading the message are Ray Bolger, atop the rear seat, Little Jack Little, left, and Col. C. S. Meyers. The entertainers have been putting on shows for the Allied troops in the Southwest Pacific.

Triple Sub Launching AWAWW.W.- - i The glider zooms past an assembly of fellow students. Despite rushing air, it is level. The operator is controlling its balance, something that any pilot must master before he takes to the air. Below: Volmar Jensen attaches the rudder to the tail. He built several safety devices into the craft to eliminate the usual risks of preliminary glider instruction. Any ideas that the gliders were sissified were soon dispelled. It was quite difficult to keep a level course at a speed of 30 miles an hour.
