A forced landing is nothing for him 'cause he can probably tell which way the furoughs run in a field from 5000 feet. The glider pilot training that he had before really cinches those landings. CHARLES E. BRYNER glided in the skys above Pleasantville, Pennsylvania before zooming an engine driven ship above Arkansas. He was an interior decorator formerly. JAMES W. BERRY, is one of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma's citizens. He had approximately 100 hours of glider training under the Army Air Forces as a suplement to his present flying experience. He was also a law stu- dent at one time but apparently life at the bar was unattractive. Don't ask us what bar, either. HOMER H. ANDREWS, Jr., is one of the ex- glider pilots we have with us. His former civil occupation was that of a sheet metal worker, but that didn't prevent him from indulging in a bit of dramatics on the side. His home town is Electra, Texas. JOHN BOLENDER, Kew Gardens, L. I. New York, was a baker in civilian life. He en- listed as a Glider Pilot and had 80 hours to his credit before he started to put a Stearman through its paces.

ROBERT P. GILROY from Scranton, Penna., supervised a dairy route. Holy Cross boasts of him as alumni and -the C. P. T. program started him flying. JACK HARING, East Orange, New Jersey worked for the railroad, attempted shorthand at secretarial school, plays a swell boogie- woogie treble and played basketball J. V. This biographic sketch is lacking something. Oh yes, he also does impersonations. HANNIBAL, MISSOURI 3000 Flying Hours BENJAMIN H. HODGES, a peach state boy from Benjamin, Georgia, surveyed Uncle Sam's land for the Engineering Dept. Mercer U. is who he roots for at sport rallys. GERALD W.

P. WILLIAM D. JOHNSTON, Jr., is a Chattanooga, Tennessee fellow who got his start making rotten-egg smell with sulphur. Later as a chemist, that elementary stuff was all for- gotten and he made bigger and better smells. DAVID c. HOLBY, of Los Angeles, California has worked for Uncle Sam before, though 600 Flying Hours in another way. He was a Civil Service Ad- ministrative clerk.
