Some think of them on the ground crowing piece by piece in the great factories, waiting to take on men or cargoes. Few. however, think of that indlspenaible and unseen link between the air and ground Most radio contact. At the Ogden Air Service Com mand, as at 000 other stations all over the world, this vital link is supplied by the army ' airways communication system, represented here by three officers, 27 enlisted men and seven enlisted Wacs who provide' those varied and highly technical services without which the airplanes could not expeditiously carry out and safely mis- their sions. With landings and as nearly 1,000 of planes .month many take-of- fs to govern, the Hill Field communications specialists maintain a 24-ho- ur vigil over the comings and goings of airways traffic' from every point of the compass and with their ultra-modeequipment literm beam'' keep the craft ally and figuratively. Operate Control Tower Probably the most spectacular and certainly the most public Job they do is at the control tower. From this glass enclosure perched top the operations hangar with an unobstructed view of all airstrips, the Industrial buildings, warehouses and barracks, as far every which way as the eye or high powered glass can see. skilled specialists govern every move of the fliers who want to leave or come in. Within a three mile radius of the y tower, communication is by "on the two-wa- phone with the pilot operainstructions and the tower tors giving them in clipped, clear phrases. Beyond this distance, communication is by coded radio chatter. asking tower operators, however, always on the alert, often see other things than airplanes. Not long ago The George Briggs, TSgt officer in . non-commissio- charge of the tower sighted a wisp of smoke curling up from one of the bis hangars. Prompt action on his call to the field fire station probably saved some serious damage. To keep In constant touch with other stations the OASC employs a radio transmitter that would be the - ways which converge here. Remote Control The transmitter Is for the most part operated by remote control from the elaborately equipped con trol room on the top floor of the operations hangar. Here also is the sensitive and intricate receiving apparatus into which messages flow continuously to the operators always on duty. Everybody knows how much weather means to a flier and in cooperation with the base weather station the communication station has worked an unbelievably rapid and accurate method of disseminating this Information to aircraft in flight The hundred and one other sorts of information required In the operation of today's great "top side" movement of traffic is constantly being accelerated by continuously improving methods and equipment. To accomplish these tasks and maintain the trained staffs necessary to perform this specialized service. Captain B. D. Baylor, commanding Hill Field's communication squadron, conducts regular classes for his personnel, men and Wacs. Further, several of his noncommissioned officers who have had overseas experience under both good and bad conditions are giving constant training to the in the various specialties such .as receiving, transmitting, coding, telephone usage and the like. Highly Specialised Personnel Because of it's technical nature, only personnel of high Intelligence quotients are accepted into this work, and there never was enough of them, the captain says. Additional Wacs are being taken into the, organization as rapidly as they can be obtained, and because of the nature of the communications work promotion is rapid. In fact, there are more enlisted ratings In this branch than in most of the other services because of its specialized character. Qualified women can enlist at any time for this work where they will help on an Important job and receive training that will be invaluable in the after - ob new-come- rs pride of many a commercial station because Hill Field is the relay point for messages about and to plane flights the east and . west and Ask3 nd smith air- - war air age.
