Whether it is a complete solution remains ‘to be seen. It doesn’t eliminate one of.the army's chief grouches, namely that secret air maneuvers are jhandicapped by civilian flying. A secret maneuver can’t very , well be secret if the army has to notify dozens of airport dispatch- lights out of a few passengers. Another report was that an army | pilot, given-the all clear-to land ,a midwesternport, hit the run- ; way just as a student flyer was ‘taxiing his little plane across the field. The army pilot had to spin his plane and rip off a wing to avoid a collision. These stories were numerous and undoubtedly gave rise to the fact that some- thing should be done.
