Flees. Plans for an aviation reserve sys- tem which will train between 130 and 2 expert flyers annually were an- nounced today by the Navy Depart- ment. Embodied in the program is the basis of a new policy whioh, it is said, constitutes the first concrete step toward building the alr service of the fleet to the strength required by modern tactics. In each naval district “in which the public is sufficiently interested” there will be organized and maintained a reserve unit capable of turning out a minimum of ten pilots a year. The newly established reserve will be kept to a fixed strength by this annual in- flux of new blood. Administration and training will be under the com- mandant of the district in which the unit is located, additional units being established when, in his opinion, the conditions warrant. To Secure Quarters. The commandant also will be au- thorized to obtain a suitable location for the hangars and warehouses in which the planes and other equip- ment, to be furnished by the bureau of aeronautics, are to be kept. Equipment for standard reserve training units wlll consist of two training planes and “50 per cent of spare parts” and such additional air- craft and material “as the resources of the department can afford.” Need of Assiatance. “Owing to the shortage of funds," the announcement says, “the depart- ment must look to civil authorities of the community In which the unit is ta be established for co-operation anc material assistance in obtalning those items which current appropriations can not underthke.” A reserve officer Will be called to active duty for assignment to com- mand each unit, the shortage of per- sonnel precluding the use of regulars for this service. Students who enroll for fiying will be given the rating of seamen, second class, and on com- pletion ‘of their course will be glven forty-five days' training under serv- ice conditions with a naval squadron. “A similar policy relative to light- er-than-alr, training of reservists will be announced later,” the demmrtment says.
