AMERICAN AIR "FLYER" IS READY

THE war has enabled

America to lead Britain in THEY WILL BECOME R.N. OFFICERS

being the first to produce a tested "over the weather" air liner.

Pan-American Airways have taken delivery of the first of the. Bocing "Stratoliners," which has now received its flying certif- cate from the Civil Aeronautics Authority.

It is, built to fly contanily at between three and Ave miles high. and to carry· 33 passengers with Na four engines of 1100 h.p. each. Britain, Just before the war began, had great plans for a similar liner to fly in the smooth air that exists "over the weather,"

14 Were on Order

Fourteen of them were on order European and Empire

for use routes.

Like the Blueings, the Britishi Fairey FC.15 were to have "super- charged" fuselages..

NAVAL RATINGS from the lower deck drilling at the shore station, H.M.S. King Alfred. Officers are trained at this station for all classes of vessels and, if necessary, receivé specialised instruction.

That Is: The 30 passengers were to suffer

no inconvenience from the reduced air pressure nt these al-***«

itudes, because two supercharges, driven by two of the airplanes four engines, were to reproduce ground air! conditions,

The superchargers were to de- Hiver 20 euble fl. of conditioned air every minute for every passenger. A "mock-up," or full-sized dummy, was made of the British inachine, and work was starting on production of the first aircraft when war began. To-day the "mock-up" still stands in the factory.

Work on the F.C.Is renaina sug- pended because wor-planes first.

BOY'S CHIN FROZE TO THE ICE

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Miles Edwin Calvert was playing. on the frozen River Ure, near Hawes, Yorkshire, when a friend. Evelyn Walker, aged 11, fell in.

He managed to get to her, but the lee

gave way and he fell in, too. He lost his hold on the girt and she

was drowned.

As Milen struggled to get out, the wet sleeves of his coat, his hands and wet eliin froze on to the lee. And when he was rescued his cloth- ing was so frozen that it had to be cut off him.

They Called Him Haig Allenby-

WHEN his birth was registered his surname was Cole. man, as Militiaman Coleman, he was sentenced to three months' hard labour after smashing a Bedford shopfront,

An Army officer said Haig Allenby had made himself a "general" (no pun intended) "nuisance." In other words he was nobly christened.

But He Was A Bad Soldier
