RISK OF HASTE IN | AIR EXPANSION

German Training Casualties

AVERAGE, OF FIFTY ACCIDENTS A MONTH

(BY MAJOR 0. C. TURNER) Intensive flight training in the German air force, to make up for the years when the air force was non-existent, has during the past few months entalled heavy casual- Lies.

There is reason to believe that for a period up to the end of Octo- ber there was an average of 60 training accidents a month. these a considerable minority were fatal

On representations made to the German Air Minister, Gen. Goering, steps were taken fecently to spread training over a longer period and to adopt improved methods.

The reported figures are of con-- siderable interest. If the propor- tion of casualties to the total num- ber of men under training were the same in Germany as it is in the British Air Force we should be forced to the conclusion that at least 20 times as many Air Force pilots are under training in Ger many, whereas the number is less than 30 per cent, greater.

NEW BRITISH TRAINING PLANES

The cause of the heavy casualty rate in Germany is an effort to ex- pand the air force at a greater rate than is consistent with true economy and efficiency. In Great Britain training has developed steadily, and although for many years restricted as to numbers it has been uninterrupted. .

At the civil flying schools, at which preliminary fight training for the RAF. is given, not more than three fatal accidents have occurred this year and at service fight training schools only half dozen.
