It is identical with one originated in the GOP 80th Con- gress and retained by subsequent Democratic Congresses.

So far the fliers still have the edge in the continuing battle of men versus machines, but the challenge becomes greater by the day with constant. improvements to new jet bomber and fighter planes. A cadet at this giant air station, where all Navy pilots get ‘their basic training, often wonders what some of the varied machines-he useé have to do with his ultimate objective. “What's-this thing got to do with shooting down MIGs?” a restive pilot’s eyes and brain, the- better chance he'll have in combat fly- ay supersonic speeds. Teading rate controller is only one of many devices the base uses for improving human vision, An ordinary movie projector flashes silhouettes of enemy and friendly aircraft on a screen at the rate of 1-75th to 1-150th of a second. With a little practice, a cadet learns to recognize hundreds from all angles at the split second closing rate of jet aircraft. Still another improves his pe-- al_vision—what he can see out of the corner of his eye with- out turning his head. In this exer- cise groups of numbers are flashed actoss a screen.
