Page Six CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, November 28, 1942 PERU NRAB (Continued from page three) During his time at this base, a cadet is taken through the five stages of so- called primary training, A to E inclu sive, which includes among other things, formation flying, night flying, instrument flying and aerobatics, and the list of maneuvers of what is in cluded in aerobatics reads like the pro gram notes for a featured stunt event of an air circus. Each cadet has three separate and distinct opportunities to prove his abil ity to pass the various tests at each stage of his flight training. Should he get two down checks out of three tries at any stage, he is given what is called squadron time and if he again fails he may be given another chance called flight board time and finally should he need it, at the discretion of the com manding officer, he may have a final chance to go on for his golden wings on Captain’s time. The cadet also gets training while at this base in navi gating and flight through the use of Link Trainers, It is the purpose of the training here that the cadet learn the essentials of navigation, airplane motors and flying, acquire a creditable skill in radio and in flying, continue training ROOMS — Attractive, comfortable I’ooms for your family when they visit Chapel Hill, in Miss Josephine Sharkey’s home.

In it are hundreds of re cruits to the blue-jacket ranks of our expanding Navy. They are given their initial training here and many of them are assigned to posts right here as strikers for ratings or as rated men all the way from yeoman, photographer or storekeeper to commissary steward, aviation machinist or electrician. The size of the enlisted personnel aboard may be judged from the fact that there are here no less than 32 chief petty of ficers, and of course a fine bunch of men they are too. We are located not less than seven miles from Peru and 14 miles from Kokomo, but such distances do not pre vent our cadets from giving the sweet young one of these little cities a break on such week-ends as the cadets may receive liberty. SQUANTUM (Continued from page three) far over the windshield my instructor thought he was going to be alone. At least I’m outstanding in one re spect, No one can bounce a plane as high as I on a landing. I’m a one man rodeo. They tell me my planes bound up to the second story windows. In fact, no one knows until the ship stops whether I’m taking off or coming down —neithed do I! The kind of ships I fly are fragile and instructors are not allowed to stunt them but what I do to a plane in landing is beyond the scope of any stunt pilot. After 11 hours of dual instruction, we solo—if the instructors think it’s safe. Somebody made a mistake and let me up. I thought they would sound the air raid alarm first and get every body inside, even the ambulance at tendants. That would be quite an in novation for, while in the old days when a student soloed for the first time, everybody came out to watch, nowa days, since the base has been enlarged, only a few intimate friends know when a new solo student goes up. Everyone was very nice to me. My friends all shook my hand, patted me on the back and told me what a good egg I was in spite of all they had said. They were auctioning off my belong ings when I returned. Two Officers Detached Two officers of the Pre-Flight medi cal department were detached from the station during the past week. Lt. Comdr. E. A.
