Just as the cotton fields down below seemed about to come right into my lap I felt Ted Landon grab the controls and saw him hastily point to his head with the sign that he was "taking over. We came out just over the mesquite trees, and he roughly slipped tile ship into a bumpy landing in a cotton field. Then, while I was trying to add things up and realizing already that I had tied it up again, I saw Ted very methodically raise his goggles and with great deliberation climb out of the front cockpit. He glared at me but said sweetly enough: hell Scott, what in the g d are you trying to do what was that maneuver? I said glide Dont you at least know what a normal glide is in all this time? Weakly I said, Sir, I thought you said a dive. I could see Ted fight for control; then he told me the next time I had him at an altitude so low, not to attempt to think but just try to keep the ship straight and level. On another day, after about two weeks of instruction, we had been and landings, making only take-off- s and I knew the time was approaching when I would solo. As usual, that realization made me more and more tense as the end of the period neared.

Around the field in traffic I couldnt hold the correct altitude, and my instructor was cussing a blue streak. Hed yell about my having graduated from West Point and say that he knew I was supposed to have some brains but he hadnt been able to find them. After each bumpy landing hed look around at me and hold his nose that was symbolic enough for me. I finally bounced into another landing that nearly jarred his teeth out. Then, as usual, he showed what a prince of a fellow he was, and showed me that an instructor had to become accustomed to students making mistakes knowledge which stood me in good stead years later when I became an instructor.

As he leaned ever my cockpit and reached inside the ship for the Form One, the time-boo- k always carried in Army ships, I saw only his band and thought he was offering to shake hands with me. So I grabbed the hand and shook it. ' He just grinned and x growled: With landings like thoie I can do you very little good, and Ill be damned if Im going to let you kill me. Do you think you can take this thing around the field all by yourself and get it back down? Yes, Sir, I yelled. Then take it around and make a landing as close to me as you CHAPTER HI can.

I even tried to outguess Lieutenant Lan-do- n and have the stick and rudder moving in the right direction before he could get the orders out of his mouth. Now thereby hangs a tale. I was not only trying to look in his rearview mirror and actually read his lips when I couldnt hear through the gosport, but was diligently looking about the sky for other harebrained student pilots. He must have realized my eagerness, for he gave me every break and for the many boners I pulled I needed lots of breaks. , ' .

Anyway, I missed him and plunked the ship into the ground after levelling off too high. Well, held it straight and there was no As it stopped, ground loop. breathed again, and I could feel the smile that cracked my face. A pilot! I had landed the ship and it was actually in one piecel Looking back over my shoulder I saw Lieutenant Landon. He was just standing there about, half a mile away. Then I made another mistake. He raised his hands and I thought he waved me in I didn't know until the next day that he had been shaking his fist at me for trying to land right on him. So I , taxied in, never giving a thought to how my instructor was going to get in with his chute you see, Randolph is a big field and I had left him more than a mile from our hangar. I had parked the plane and was in and beginning to dress when I began to realize what I had done. Looking out the window I could see him trudging across the hot soil of Texas, in the sun, with ships landing all around him. My Lord, I had tied it up again! I tried to get my feet back into my flying-sui- t, tripped and fell, got up and ran out of the hangar door. I guess I was going to take the ship and taxy out and pick him up. But I had lost again tiie ship was being taken from the line by the next student. I just stood there with sinking heart as he came up. But he didnt even look my way, except to say, Its kinda hot out there. Then he just glared and thrw his chute in his locker. Well, I nearly worried myself to death that night. I knew hed more than likely tell me after the next days ride that I was the damnedest student hed ever seen, and that I didnt have a prayer of making a pilot. But next day he didn't say a word. All day I started to go over and tell him how sorry I was, Jjut I guess I didnt have the nerve. During my flying training, I had girl trouble, too. You would no doubt call it trouble, but I knew it was the real thing. I had a ChevroI just let then, and every week-en- d had to see my girl, even if she did live over thirteen hundred miles away in Georgia. To get to see her, d I would drive that miles to her college or her home in Fort Valley, spend anywhere from ten minutes to two hours with her, then jump back in the car and drive madly for Texas and thirteen-hundred-od- release. the Monday morning flying period. I always had to delay my start until after Saturday morning inspection. That meant that I had to avmiles an erage just about fifty-fohour, even counting the time I saw tiie girl. In the forty-seve- n hours that I had from after inspection on Saturday to flying time at eight oclock Monday mornings! Week-en- d I drove after week-en- d madly across the South from the middle of Texas to the middle of Georgia. On one of these dashes, I weakened and was fool enough to ask the Commandant of Student Officers if I could go to Atlanta. I can still see and hear Capt. Aubrey Strickland saying, Atlanta what? And me meekly replying, Atlanta, Georgia, Sir. He just said, Hell, no, and I turned and walked from his office with the good intention of obeying the order. But within the hour I had weakened. I filled my rumble-sea- t tank, which held fifty-fiv- e gallons of fuel, and was off to see her for the short time available. (Yes, she was, and still is some jlrL) On the return trip I burned out two bearings near l, Patterson, Louisiana. Jimmy n one of the speed flyers, helped me to get it fixed after I explained the predicament I was in. But even with five of us working on the number one and number six bearings of the Chevy, I was twelve hours late getting back to Randolph Field. As I walked into the bachelor officers quarters that I shared with Bob Terrill, I expected any minute to hear the sad news. But I was too afraid to ask for details, so I just waited for Bob to say, You are to report to the General tomorrow for court martial for A.W.O.L. in violation of specific instructions. Finally he put down his letter writing, looked at me almost in disgust, and broke out: Scott, you are the damned luckiest man that ever lived! You didnt get reported today. No! This is the first time in the history of Randolph Field that its been too cold to fly. And it wasnt only too cold to fly, it was too cold to have ground school, because the heating system had failed.

V1CICS well-know- d. when graduation came at Kelly and I had those wings pinned on my chest, I had the wonderful feeling that I h&d gone a little way towards the goal I wanted. I was at last an Army pilot. Never did the world seem so good. And then out of a clear sky came orders for me to go to duty in Hawaii. That was pretty bad because I wanted to get married before I went out of the country, and as yet the girl hadnt gotten her degree from college. Probably if I had gone to Hawaii, I would have figured out some way to have flown a 2 back over every week but I didnt have to do it after all. The Chief of the Air Corps came down a few days later and I waited until he had had lunch in the Officers Mess. Then I walked over and said, General, can I ask you a question? Sure, sit down, he said, and I told him the whole story and I made it like this: General, I know that Im supposed to go where Im sent because Im in the Army, but Ive got a girl over in Georgia, and I think I can de a lot better job wherever you send me if yoq can give me time to talk her into marrying me.

This was what I had been working for since 1920. Now I was actually riding towards the glory of tactical'Army aviation. I recall that I had just about completed the trip to Long Island, when something happened that will keep me remembering the fall of 1933. Just before I reached the Holland Tunnel, I was suddenly forced to the curb by three cars all bristling with sawed-of- f shotguns and Tommy-gun- s. I jumped out pretty mad, but saw that many guns were covering me and that it was the police. They looked at my papers, but said anyone could have mimeographed orders. They searched the car and me, took down the Texas license number, and even copied the engine number. All the time I tried to talk with the flashlights in my eyes.
