BATTLES IN THE AIR.
There will t? a fine exhibition of
flying in Savannah on April 17th.
This flying circus is in the interest of
the Victory Loan Campaign and will
not be repeated in this section of the
country, so it behooves all who desire
to see haw air battles were!
fought to come to Savannah and see
a battle in the air.
In connection with this flying circus,
we haye looked up the authorities
and find that a regular aviation;
company has four master signal elec-j
tricians each drawing $121.50 a
month, 29 sergeants, first class, each
? - - - At. too!
, drawing 551.uu ^ montn, anu oo{
sergeants each drawing $44.00 a;
' month, 12 privates, first class, each,'
drawing $33.00 a month, and 24 pri-|
vates each drawing $30.00 a month;
the total number of men being 150
and their monthly pay is $6,246.00.'
This pay is in Addition to their board,'
lodging, clothing, medical, dental
* . 'and hospital treatment, and their education.
v
The air service teaches radio mechanics,
wireless telephone, and tele-,'
graph, airplane mechanics, aero mo-'
tor mechanics, propeller and fabric'
r making, magneto and instrument re-1
pairing, electric-and acetylene weld-!
>' ing, carpentry and cabinet making,'
coppersmithing, vulcanizing, photog-j
raphy, mechanical draughting, and automobile
operating in addition to I
flying. All these trades are taughtrj
in schools where every man has a
chance to practice the theories, so he
learns both the best theory and practice
in the trade. Only men who
have the requisite physical require,
ments are taught flying in all it's
branches.
