10 gate- ,Cffigfzt Uqefzonautics By IAM ES BARNES Aviation did not just spring up. It is the result of years of untiring effort. Making very little progress up to the Hrst World War and taking its Hrst really progressive steps in the early twenties, Aviation has grown into the adult stage in the past decade. With the depression, which stopped almost all experi- mentation, the aviation industry rolled up its sleeves and proceeded to make America an air-minded nation. When Aviation's mechan- isms, terms, and systems became too compli- cated to be mastered over-night, only then was there a means sought to teach and famil- iarize the student pilot with the intricacies of flying. These circumstances necessitated the developing of a ground school course, which became Pre-Flight Aeronautics. Here is the story of a science that through the efforts of hundreds of inventors, engi- neers, technicians, and dare-devils has grown to be the vast field of Aviation. Being the first course of its kind to be offered to high school students of America, it, at first, seemed a little vague, but upon reading this article three years from now, you will realize. that Pre-Flight was behind its time. The course is a thorough one contain- gnxxxxx1xxxxxxsxxxxxnxxxxxxxxxxx ing a set of seven separate books. The most important of these seven are Aerodynamics, Meteorology, and Navigation, while the others fall into this order: Construction and Operation of Engines, Principles of Airplane Structures, Communication, and Human Reaction in Flight. Aerodynamics, the word isn't as terrible as it looks, is simply the study of the forces controlling an airplane in flight. Such as: the plan and operation of control surfaces, the principles of flying, the propeller, and its operation, the parts contributing to stability are a few which come under this heading. Meteorology, or simply the Why's and Whereforeis of Weather, contain such im- portant subheads as: formation and types of clouds, fronts and their causes, precipitation, and the make-up and interpretation of weath- er maps. A new science was evolved out of an old one, and we have Aerial Navigation, or Avigation. This topic methodizes the pro- cess of getting from here to there and back again safely. In studying Avigation one readily sees its basic importance in Hying an aircraft. Iust a sentence about the other books to give you a brief descriptive view as to their relationships with Aviation. The power plant or engine operates the same as a costly watch or other Hne instrument, having its own elec- trical, fuel, cooling and lubricating systems. The Principles of Aircraft Structure consists of aircraft history, design, materials, and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxixx THE Quin. MAGAZINE stresses of which all contribute to the flying qualities of the aircraft. Communication is that means by which the pilot sends and receives his flying data and other reports. Your reactions to a hundred or so different situations constitute the last book of the seven. Although this completes the book of Pre- Flight Aeronautics, the applying and teach- ing of this new subject was entrusted to three men of the faculty, Mr. Dale Holt, Mr. L. A. Youngman, and Mr. Leon R. Vance. Ar the end of the first semester these three classes combined to form a class of students, under Mr. Vance, who planned to take the government civilian pilot examina- tion at the end of the year, and under Mr. Holt, the rest continued to take theregular course. Nlr. Vancels students were drilled on the various phases of Pre-Flight that were most likely to be on the exam. Also due to the extremely serious nature of the course, undoubtedly not to be called a snap, some dropped out altogether. The student taking the course should have a good mathematics and scientific foundation. Pre-Flight barely starts you into the vast field of Aviation. Of the already numerous careers in Aviation, one must stop to com- prehend the unending possibilities it offers to the youth of today! Whether passenger or pilot, modeler, or mechanic, Aviation is playing a daily Part in your life. Aviation is creating a world of tomorrow, hand-in-hand with the men and women of tomorrow. xxxxxxxxxxxixxxxxxxxlxxlxxtxvf I E 5 ' I 5 ENID GENERAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION : 4 I 1 I I and SCHOOL OF NURSING I I 5 4 I 4 W I I I -f H n E FRIENDLY SERVICE Complete Clinical and Laboratory : i Diagnosis : : 6lO South Monroe St. : : Phone 2000 : Ambulance Service . . . : : Night and Day Attendant : l Fire Proof Building 4 I I I - I I , I I 5 g EN I D CLIN IC g 5 E : DR.
