At Victory House, where men for the rank and file of the service are belig enlisted, 20,000 men have presented themselves or have writ- ten asking for application forms for enlistment,

Altogether 22,500 men are requir- ed-2.500 pilots and 20,000 skilled and unskilled aerodrome personnel

The inquiries are coming from every corner of Britain. Yesterday I saw letters from a fisherman in the Orkney Islanda, a North Devon colour manufacturer, and an Isle of Man shop assistant. In the lobby of Victory House I met a deep-sea diver from the Antarctic, Aged 26, turning disconsolately away. He had no teeth, natural or artificial, and so no chance.

ALL RIGHT, SON" Another 1,000 men applied at Victory House yesterday. Young men of a splendid type had begun, to arrive an hour before the doors opened.
