and travelers the BPR now plans
to keep Isabel Pass open for the

cities.

New Airway Manual
Placed in Use
A new flight information man
ual for use by Army pilots in Al
aska will be placed in use thro
ughout the Territory in Febru
ary, Headquarters, U. S. Army,
Alaska, announced this week.
Called the Alaskan Airway
Manual, the book will give infor
mation to aviators similar to
that in an Airway Manual now
in use by airlines and other com
mercial pilots in the United
States.
A real aid to fliers, the value
of the manual increases with its
use. Pilots submit data after mak
ing flights and the informaTTon
they gather while in the air is
incorporated into the manual for
use by other fliers. A comment
card comes with each book and
is used to send in facts concern
ing terrain, routes, landing fields
and other flight data. Weekly re
visions will be published and
mailed directly to each Army
pilot. ^
The manual, which also covers
Canada, represents the latest
phase of a world-wide Army av
iation flight information program.
Locally, the program will be di
rected by Col. Earle L. Lerette,
USARAL assistant chief of staff
for operation. According to Cap
tain Thomas A. Beasley, head of
the USARAL aviation division,
the manuals can be purchased by
civilian pilots. The book is offici
ally known as Training Manual
11-2557-6 and 7.
