ARMY I SQUADRON ,

s
“It would appear that we will be in j
Seward for some days to come,” said ^
Lieutenant Eileson, Alaska Ace, who
with Captain Wilkins, Arctic explorer,
is again in the city enroute to Point
Barrow, “so inasmuch as capt. Wilkins
£
has talked this week before you why t
not permit me to address you next
week.” However the lieutenant then
£
began to tell something about what
he has been doing since last he was
a
in the city, about six months ago.
He has spent considerable time in
t
most of the states looking over the
aviation situation and in this respect,
informed the ‘ members the outstand-1
ing accomplishment the past year, as ^
I (
everyone might know', was the epoch j
c
making flight of Colonel Charles A. |
Linbergh across the Atlantic, and of c
Colonel Lindbergh’s personal attri-11
butes since that memorable flight, j1
Where few were interested in avia
tion before Lindbergh’s famous hopv
everyone now is interested in natur
ally aviation in the States has gone
forward by leaps and bounds. j
Students fill aviation schools every-,
where, he said, and in Portland, where
he spent sometime, the three or five
aviation schools there were crammed
to capacity by students eager to make
aviation their life work.
The greatest thing of interest to 1
Alaska, Eileson stated, is the fact the 1
five-year program of the Army Air 1
Service, calls for a squadron of planes
in Alaska. This will be composed of a
composite group and undoubtedly the
base will be at Fairbanks owing to
the mdre desirable landing field there.
He pointed out that the landing field
is just about the most important thing
in connection with a squadron sta
tioned in Alaska for the minimum of
damaging planes costing $30,000 or
$50,000, would be cut down to nill.
Planes must have ample field room
and the Fairbanks f%ld has that.
Lieutenant Eileson added that Gen
eral Mitchell had advocated, eight or
nine years ago, the United States
!
should do something regarding aviat- j
I
ion in Alaska and had stated the near, j
est route from the United States to
the Orient was across Alaska; planes
would be flying across land practically
all the way and weather conditions
were excellent.
He then w'ent on to relate the time
at Washington, D. C., he was called
upon to assist in defending Alaska
against various verbal attacks one of
which that the average mean temper
ature of Alaska was 60 below zero, and
numerous other ridiculous charges of
like calibre. Statistics compiled and
procured from the U. S. Weather Bur
eau at Washington, showed that in
stead of the Fairbanks region temper, j
ature being around 60 below zero,
averaged for that year, one above zero.
In concluding his interesting ad
dress, the veteran pioneer of Alaska
aviation said, the Army has been asso
ciated with Alaska since the very be
ginning so why not continue this in
terest by the furtherance of aviation.
