177'. 1. r 'V 'l' 5 R1. u .- ., JCS? :QJLALLL' .1 ' AVI ATION IN CI NCI NNATI Today a cityis commercial prestige depends upon its harbors and railroad terminals. Although the exploitation of the air for com- mercial purposes is still in the incipient stage, astonishing results have already been accomplishedr-and the time is inevitably near when air transportation will be a controlling power in commerce. When that time comes each city will have developed commercially in proportion to its active interest in aeronautics. Aviation is the only weapon commercially usable in peace and convertible for defense and attack in war. Aeroplanes, like fire extin- guishers, are necessary for home defense. Bombing planes attacking from high altitudes, unseen and unheard by day or night, can sink any fleet. Battleships are obsolescent. That may have been the cogent reason behind the ready acquiescence of the nations to the pact lim- iting naval armament. Our navy and seaboard lack aviation defense. Cincinnatfs development in this new science is evidenced by the activities of the Grisard Field Company. It is a Garrison Post com- manded by Major Edward L. Hoffman, U. S. Air Service, and is the base of the 417th Pursuit, 100th Division A. S., 368,369, and 675th Air Service Reserve Squadrons. There are connected with the Field 112 pilotsland observers, all trained in the late war. The enlisted personnel consists of 238 men from the engineering college of the University of Cincinnati. Six.Gov- ernment training planes With equipment values at $95,000, three com- mercial and two sport planes are in use at the Field. Since the establishment of the Company 2,500 flights have been made; 1200 paSSengers carried; and 75,000 persons have visited the Field. The Field has served frequently as a landing station for planes from other cities. Cincinnatils progress in the development of aviation has been made possible by the patronage of a number of public-spirited citizens and business houses. The most recent contribution to this progress is the beautiful new field in Turkey Bottoms, donated by Mr. Edmund H. Lunken, to Which the base Will be transferred from the present location at Blue Ash. In order to complete preparations at the new field, it will be necessary to raise a fund of $40,000 to provide the most modern hangars and workshop equipment. The successful completion of this new enterprise will place Cincinnati in an enviable position in National aviation. - 'I' Officers: Directors: JOHN D. SAGE, GEORGE F. DANA . THE Presndent W. C.
