y 4 V I Thrills in iii Army Flying I D DISARMAMENT is a goal worth working for and the world probably will be better better bet bet- ter off when the time comes for it to to throw throwaway throwaway throwaway away its war war-J war making ing tools toots but but- for for- forthe the present present present pres pres- ent lets let's be thankful that the United States army is building up its air force Not alone atone because the airplane is such a I potent military weapon The thing that mak makes s th the army air force so appealing to laymen is the fact that it can put on such a whale hale of a good show A few days ago the army staged a big exhibition along the lake front in Chicago The air corps was on hand with some forty or more planes to lend a hand and ind nd the thrills these planes furnished were worth going a long longway longway longway way to see Bruce Catton Gallon relates these interesting interesting interesting inter inter- esting observations Promptly at noon two big groups of planes eighteen in each group would go roaring over the loop Flying in perfect formation for for- mation the they would play a a. grand spectacular game of follow the leader In and out among mong the spires of the office buildings they would soar motors wide open darting along with aerial skill displayed at its very best best- then the they would come down in one magnificent cent taking breath-taking dive over Michigan boulevard boule yard vard dipping low in a gorgeous half circle and then springing upward again as if they had hall hit the earth and bounced off Now the thing that made all aU of this so good to look at was the fact that these thes fliers seemed to be stunting simply for their own amusement They weren't really of course th they i were performing methodical evolutions a and ij long hours of hard training had preceded this display But it look looked d as if they were flying around just for the thc fun of it masters of the air as a seal is master of the waves And that is a side of flying that cant can't he be emphasized too often r The commercial planes dont don't often give ive iveus us much of it They are too businesslike They flit acro across the sky like homing pigeons and in a minute they are gone but these army chaps turn somersaults and do dizzying dives and banks as if they existed solely to c. c f J.
