Lovejoy ‘explained that he selected her as w, mascot be- cause she has a jet black nose “and you know that’s sure good luck.” The kitten stemed to enjoy her|- first flight, so Lovejoy decided to take her along regularly. The code of the air, however, calls for all oceu- pants of a ship to have.parachutes, and when it’s impossible for all to have the safety devices, then no one on the plane wears one, Lovejoy had his regular parachute, so he decided that “Birdie” must have one, and he manufactured a small-sized parachute for the kitten. She is taken with the pilot on. virtu- ally all of his air voyages, whether with mail or passengers, and on each trip she wears her emergency landing gear strapped to her back. “We havent had to juntp yet,” said the airman, “but when we do, we.are soing to be all set, and Birdie is go- ing down with me.
