SEKOUR JOmiSON FIBLD, M. C. m-O-IIIEMI mg 15, i9»3 PA(a 3 HENDERSOM OLD UCE Coptlnu*d froa 1 bMTlng tha saot niaa aa * battle- aearrad alrfiald in tha far flung Faeiflo. Organluition of tha phaaa «aa baaed largely on iiifonimtion pro* vided by Ailltary paraonnal return ed froa the fighting tonea. Uen who had eaan AAf ground crewa keep Aa- ariean war planee In fighting trim under conditions far raaored from tha convanieneea of hangara and repair shops furnished the first hand knowledge easential in plan ning the ’'Henderson Field" set-x^. And not only ure oonditiona of the Field like those at the front, but the Field actually looks like a front-line hangar section ~ even to the eaaouflage, which has won plaudits frcK the hi^er-ups all t.he way to Kastdngton* COL wool TO Lt. Zol, Clair \;ood. Direc tor of Training, goes credit for a challenge to the student's rescue cefulnssa. Little if any, equijnent la factory oade. Instead, discarded oaterial and that "which is Just lying arou nd" is pressed into service. Kngine hoists and dollies are made of logs or second hand limber. Old airplane gasoline tanks and engine fittings are utilized to foro practical and serviceable wash basins. Snail but sturdy log caldns and wooden nuts house supply and administrative sections. The fusulage of a bomber, its flying days long since over, has been converted to serve as an eng ineering office while the group orderly room affairs are transacted in a canvas tent. ROMEMAIE EQIIPMERT U'ith tha help of their "hone- made" ‘Uid improvised ecuipment, the student owohs learn to make a com plete engine change under field conditions. The reouired plane and engine insp>actions including 50* hour, 25-hour, daily and pre-flight are made. The patenting of bullet holes in sulf-sealing gasoline tan ks or repair of shr^nel holes in wing or tail assembly are jiarts of tne re luired duties as students le arn to repair simulated combat dam age. Students also learn how to raise \ plane following i crash la nding. For that particular work, logs and scrap timber are pressed into service to prepare the student for the tijw when he may be called ig>on to do a similar Job in the field without benefit of Jacks and factory'^sade souijviisnt. Froper dispersal, protection and camouflage are not forgotten. Througnout the Henderson Field arei tnsre is ample evidence of the th ought given to the art of camouflage and its importance in providing pr otection from enB:;^ observation. Wherever }^ssible, natural surroun dings and foliage are employed to hide ulanss and installations. MIUTMT TM. Despite tne stress on the work of aircraft tsechanic, the Henderson Field }:iogran also includes a sub stantial amount of military train ing to prepare the student for the day when he m.iy "be on his own" wUn only a fiream -^nd his own skill between him and the snam^ i bayonet course has been laid out and every student learns the knack of jiarry and tlirust. Sighting bars and t^ir- got areas provide for the student an opportunity to Isam and prac tice rifle markaasnship. The o^ght days spent at !lender- sou are busy ones, but for the stu dent tnay are short ones. And after them, he is no lonpr A comjlete stranger to front-line conditions.
