Apart from being a finishing school, the Center is really tho point in the pilot's training where his future is decided. Here it is determined whether tho aviator is best suited for pursuit, bombardment, artillery observation or reconnaissance work; or whether he is capable of flying any of these types of machines at the front.

Beefore the center began salvaging "props" it was thought impossible that these propellers could be saved, and insofar as it is known, this was the ttrst flying center in the world where efforts were made to redeem propellers, incidentally saving huge sums for the Government and at the same time assuring a supply of essential parts. Flying Life of F.ngtne Is 50 Hours. The flying life of an airplane engine is but iiO hours.

This means that after only .10 hours of flying tho motor is removed from the plane and 1s rent to the machine shops for a thorough overhauling. Tho engine is stripped completely and every part carefully gone over, and when it is found necessary new parts are substituted. Then after the motor is assembled it is put on the block and is thoroughly tested to determine that it is absolutely safe. mean that they can spend both the I holidays at their home. To many I H.
