Several «'|tiadrona of mechanic! who

dier-mechani<-* are tho'^'Jjrfcly t-a'ned
in the workings of aeroplanaa and
have the mint modern device* for
keeping them in fir*t-cla»* condition.
The field ia an excellent example of
modern lard*cape engineering. It haa
been rolled until it haa taken on tba
appearance of a level stretch of prai
rie land and tree*. shrubbery, houaea
and other terra flrma obstruction* that
might interfere with a »afe and clear
landing for a machine have been
cleared away. Tha traction line that
formerly paaaad through that part of
the country haa been detoored around
flie rteW tor a distance of lHf-aflei
and* new line from the adjacent rail
roada ran to the field. There are aon
than 100 building* on the field, 24 of
which are devoted to the housing of
the machinea. A thorough lyatem of
drainage haa been installed.
On ail four (idea of the field are
armed guards whom one must paaa
before letting foot upon the training
camp. A paas is a difficult thing tc
secure and is granted only after a
moat thorough investigation by the
commanding officer, the moat exact
ing precaution* being taken to guard
against spiea. Once inside, a peraon
. is still under the officer'a watchful
eye*, a* one is not permitted to tear
the field unlesa accompanied by an
officer. A lone ia also established
around the hangar* beyond which a
visitor ia not allowed to pass. Viaitor*
are not permitted to take photograph*
on the grounda, make a flight, take
note* of any kind whatsoever nor
make a shetch. In short, every pre

yond the boundaries of the fleWT Raw
ever, a long-distance flying course ia
now partly mapped out which will ex
tend from the field to the officers' ra
se I've training camp at Ft. Benjamin
Harrison in Indiana. The distance ia
about 110 miles. Maps of the rout*
will be supplied the flyers when start
ing on the trip. Landing places con
sisting of open fields will be located
along the route at a distance of five
miles apart where the aviator may
land, but only in case of emergency.
All the principal cities along the route
a high tower will be erected from
which will shine a light to steer the
aviator on his way, as night flights
as well aa day will be taken. A more
extensive route will be completed later
which will take the flyer from Dayton
to Pittsburgh, Pa.; to Columbus, then
to Dayton, O.; to Richmond and In
dianapolis, Ind.; to Rantoul and
Chicago, 111.; to Ft. Wayne, In<L, and
return to Dayton. Bridges, buildings
and various kinds of structures may
be crested for the airmen to drop
bombs on aa a test ot their eyesight.
The Standard airplane made by the
Standerd Aero Corporation of New
Jersey, and the Curtias J-N4, made by
the Glenn H. Curtias Company of New
York, are the two types of machines
now in use at the field. These ma
chines are of a low hor^e power, but
possess a great wing breadth, which
makes them ideal for training pur
poses. A "Spad" and a Nieuport ma
chine, both foreign make, will be us«d
by the students for instruction in
mechanism. •
