L2 Through _efforts of the ordnance @epartment an afrship hangar of suf- ficlent cxpecity to house a C-type airship of approximately 108000 cubic; feet of gas capacity, and having & useful lift in excess of 2.000 pounds at bombing altitudes, has been erect- ed at Aberdeen, Md. At the present time the airship C-2 is housed in this hangar. A suitable bombing rack and sights are being installed on this fdate ship for the dropping of -bombs up to 1,000 pounds in weight. The pur- pose of the ordnance department in ing the asslgnment of this Aberdeen was to carry on es which have heretofore car- r sized bombs.

The situation is so acute that the Navy Depart- ment is being urged tg conduct an- other éxamination, and it is under- £tood that the bureau of navigation hias the matter under consideration. One of the chief complaints appears to be that officers of the naval air force, especially the flying officers. were kept 5o busy previous to their examination they did not have the portunity to prepare for the other candidates for exami- tion were afforded. This, it is claimed, is especially true of the At- lantic air force, which was called upon to make flights down the coast and over to Guantanamo, where it operated with the fleet, and soon thereafter ordered to participate in the bombing tests. This strenuous service, extending up to within a few weeks prior to examinations for com- smissions, resulted, %o it is claimed, in nany failures that otherwise would have been avoided. N Faced with a serious shortage of officer personnel in the air service, the department may be forced to change its present policy whereby graduates from the Naval Academy | are not eligible for aviation service until after three years of sea -duty. ‘Whether the number of Annapolis &raduates necessary to replace the ! shortage of reserve officers ean be spared from their usual duties of oficering ships and on shore duty §s another problem yet to be worked out. The outcone is likely to result in the holding of another amina- tion for aviators, unless a fituation arises whereby a further reduction is effected in the cost of conducting the naval establishment.
