Since the “Airwoman’s Badge” was introduced in England in the Girl Guide movement a year ago. 120 girls have earned the right to wear on their tunics the emblem of an aeroplane inside a circle. Its possession shows that they have passed a test which deals with all sorts of emergencies which may arise in civil aviation. Among the things which must be known by these air-minded Guides, whose ages are from fourteen to sixteen, are: How to assist a pilot to land if he Is in difficulties. How to help when a machine is taxi-ing which includes knowledge of the right and wrong places at which to hold the wings. How to assist in tethering the machine for the night. They also learn the manipulation of chocks, and, for the purpose of observing accidents, the position and function of wings, elevator, rudder and ailerons.
