BRITAIN TAKES

TO THE AIR

ON HUGE SCALE

The British nation is to take to the alr in earnest. The government's decision to form a civil air guard means that many thousands of persons, men and women between the ages of 18 and 50 will be able to learn to fly at an almost ludicrously low cost.

And, even more important. It will create an immense potential reserve for defence. There will be thousands of able pilots ready to come to the aid of the country in time of need. :

The guard, with Lord London- derry, former Air Minister, as Umier Commissioner will be established throughout all the light airplane clubs Already a food of inquiries 1:om men and women desiring to Join is pouring in, although en- rolment will not oficial begin intti October 1.
