AIR TRAINING CORPS
RESERVE OF YOUNG BRJTONS “The reserve of young boys, 16 to 18, who have banded together into Britain’s Air Training Corps, are being taught navigation, radio and morse code, engine maintenance, theory of flight. A little more than eight months ago, when the plan was announced, it was hoped 100,000 would enlist. To-day there are 1013 local squadrons scattered over England, and 371 school units, making 209,000 total. How practical the plan is you can gather from the single isolated fact that 5000 boys who joined the Air Training Corps when it was first announced are now air cadets in the R.A.F.” New York “World-Tele- !
