The thirteen planes will be stationed along the western route it was indicated by the' officers who came to on Monday It was to the early afternoon that pilots of the commercial lines and employes I of the various companies learned that army planes were en one-legg- ed route When the six army ships landed a few minutes after 8 o'clock there were between 100 and ISO persons on hand to see the army's first move to operate airmail in western United States Lieutenant Mallory was the first officer to land with his associates swinging up in front of the army hangar to rapid succession Captain Hunter and Captain Morris gracefully drew their planes Into line and were greeted by Captain Clarence P Talbot commander of the air corps detachment stationed at the Salt Lake airport ' The four lieutenants assigned to the thirty-fourtsquadron at March field flew planes of the Ninety-fiftsquadron on the trial run leaving the California station at 9:35 a m Pa cific time flying to Las Vegas to two hours After taking on fuel and eating lunch the quartet took off at 1:10 o'clock arriving to Salt Lake at 5:15 p m (mountain time) Trip Without Incident The lieutenants reported the trip Was without incident but the stretches to southern Utah and in Nevada were surprising to the men who reported that they had ' not seen so much snow in many h h snow-covere- d pears While the officers expressed their confidence in their probable new assignment some of them wondered where they would pack the more bulky mail because as one officer "My feet are expressed himself pretty big” Captain Hunter and Captain Morris both veterans in the air corps were all business as soon as they touched the ground They got away from March field at 11:20 a m arriving at Las Vegas at 1:05 p m completing that leg to 1 hour and 45 minutes They left the Nevada city at 1:45 o’clock and reached their new hours later station 2 Both Captain Hunter and Captain Morris have flown the Salt Lake-Lo- s Angeles run many times and it was ’no novelty for them Captain Hunter was a visitor to Salt Lake May 11 1931 when the Twentieth pursuit group staged an air circus here on the way to the United States army air maneuvers at Dayton Ohio Major Tinker and Lieutenant 2 o The United States army prepares to take over airmail transportation in Salt Lake Six planes (upper) which arrived Monday for service in the western district Officers who will assist in the administration of the western gone mail service (lower left) are Captains F O Hunter (left) chief of staff Clarence P Talbot (center) in charge of the local air corps detachment and Wil- Crosthwaite flew more than 1300 miles during the day and when the new chief of the western air route touched ground at the airport he was ready for a good night’s rest The pair took off from March field at 7 a m landing at Oakland 2 hours ' later Following an inspection of the airmail facilities they left at 11:30 a m reaching Renp at 12:55 p m Major Tinker and his operations officer took off from Reno at 2:10 p m completing the leg in three hours There was a group of airmail fliers standing about as Major Tinker stepped from his plane While they were prone to discuss the invasion of the army into the airmail business many of them were happy to greet Major Tinker who is one of the army's most popular aviators It seemed to please Robert P Harris a United Air Lines pilot to see the major for Mr Harris who holds a commission to the Air corps reserve soldiered under Major Tinker befofe he became an airmail flier With three ships already occupying space in the small army hangar only four more could be placed under shelter Monday night The other four planes were left in the open with special police guarding them against prowlers Major Tinker and Captain Hunter inspected the facilities at the airport Monday evening Additional hangar space must be obtained immediately and if sufficient room cannot be 2 rented or leased from the commercial lines it is probable that shelter will be constructed Lieutenant Colonel Arnold Major Tinker and Captain Hunter will probably establish their offices to the administration building The airports in the western rone which have been used by commercial airmail carriers are expected to be utilized by the war department Confer on Pilots Major General Benjamin Foulois chief of the air corps conferred with Edward G Hamilton Washington representative of the National Airmail Pilots’ association to discuss probabilities of calling into army service any pilots who may be released by various companies the
