Ten ye hence most of | them will be past “flying age” and will | not be immediately available in the | event of future hostilities in which the | United States participates. ‘With ground schools teaching avia tion theory in colleges and univer: students wauld receive active training on flying fields during vaca- tions and other stated periods until | they fully qualify as pilots and ob- servers, This plan has not vet . been mally approved by the but it is known to be | consideration.
