I-ilotn call Jt world111'6" airline route in tUe STUFFED SHICT PILOT VII JT always seemed stvange to me that the Amy, with its super high standards for the Air Corps and the rigorous training it puts its pilots through, should at the same time leave so little responsi bility to the pilots in the matter of v.-hen they should fly and when they shouldn't. We boys in the C. N. A. C. flew thousands of tons , of material across the Himalaj-as during 10-day and sometimes even two-week periods when not a sin gle Army plane was allowed to set . oil tne ground. If that would seem to reflect more courage and daring on the part of C. N. A. C. civilian pilots than upon Air Force personnel, it should not. The Army pilots them selves would have flown in any kind of weather, and as the Army Ferry Command developed along side the C. N. A. C. on the route between Kunming and Din j an, the red tape began to thin out a little and the pilots were given more leeway. But for many months dur ing the time I worked for C. N. !A. C. our boys would be living regular schedules across the moun tains while Army regulations were keeping scores of planes loaded and ready standing on the foCT shrouded fields. Tony Mercede took up a spirited 'defense cf the Army every time Gingiss or I or others in the C. N. A. C. started to criticize it for its panty-waist flying regulations. 'Listen, jerks," he said one dav. "lou guys are getting paid bi dough for doing your job; these kids in the Army are gettin regu lar Army flyers pay.

N. A. C. has over you but it has a bigger obligation, too. T 0re extent Tony was rlrht- but he was all wrong on that matter of the motir-v making. He was not the first and by no means the last to accuse in. A. c. pilots and even the men in the A. T. A. in Fnoiri of being mercenarily Vint noitm,- he nor others of his viewpoint considered our siae of it. Virtually all cf us "mercenaries" hnr? tv;xi for our flying education out of our own pockets and almost 100 per cent of the Army nilntc hart v, given their training at government expense. Ve had investments in our flying ability, thev riirf rm But I didn't want to go into all man again, instead I said: "Wait a minute, Tony. Do you remember back in 1833 when the Army took over the airmail routes in the States? Remember how- many planes and pilots were lost in that little misadventure? And do you know why? It was because the Army didn't know a third a; rrmpv. about blind flying as the commer cial pucts did. . . . And it's the same thing over here risht. nnw There are a lot of stuffed shirts in the Army even in the Air Force and they're so coekv ahnnt their rank and their military dig nity that they think they "know everything worth knowing about flying And then I told giss and Skippy and a couple of the other boys gathered around about a little incident I hari nkvort a part in a short time before.

Four of them had names that regularly' made the headlines in American" newspapers; the other four were top-ranking colonels and brigad;er generals. They had come in from Calcutta in a biV F1 piloted by an extremely self -satis- "cu -iu cocKy little colonel. C. N. A. C.'s field office was alongside the west runway at Diri jan, and while I was waiting for one of our usual weather reports ("Ceiling unknown; visibility lim-ited-') I saw the Little Colonel standing out in front of his E-17 with a map in his hands. '"Morning, Colonel," I scid "Where vou hmmrt r,r-Q - Hump or back west?" 'Lh?' the fellow Mir!. Wi.-Tr,rr up rather foggily. "Whv, ah we're going to Kunming. The ship's being refueled."

The Little Colonel's evebrows popped up until they almost dis appeared under his cnv if T v, been a junior officer in the Army I think he would have organized a court martial right on the spot. He waited until his blood pressure subsided a little, then smiled in dulgently and said. "Thnnk v son, but I daresay I'll get along all right.- Then he turned and strode off. My plane was rmrlv r while later, and I lit out for Kun ming with a million-dollar payroll for the Chinese Arm v. Thr T.;tti Colonel was still puzzling over his map as my C-53 thundered down the runway. (To E? Crr-Imc3) SERVICE. INC.
