BRAZILIAN LETTER
Rio De Janeiro, Brasil.
Dear Mr. Vining:
I have just started to learn to
fly and find it all the more inter

aviation is yet in its infancy and
everyone is very keen on its de

and only wanted to take lessons,
it was granted. Next, I went to
the president of the Aero Club
to see if he could find me a teach
er who could speak some English.
I turned up at the Mangunos
field the first of September at
8:30 a. m. The field is an hour
away; two bus changes and a
