The planes which are to be an- | chored at the ramp on Trumbo | Island are long range «planes which may fly a thousand miles or so. These planes will prin- | cipally be used as scouting planes, although they are capable of carrying bombs. A crew of seven operates each plane. Gaso-| line for the planes are to be sent here on a fleet of 30 gasoline trucks from Everglades City. The aviation gas_ will be partially; loaded aboard the tender Owl and , will partly be kept in the trucks’ which are to service the planes. The tanks at the Key West naval station which carries diesel | and fuel oil are at present loaded | to capacity, but it is believed that it must be loaded again during | the stay of the ships. !
