AMERICAN SEAPLANE TRAIN
1NG CAMP, Italy, May 5 (by mail).—
The day of an aviator under instruc
tion is a long one in this camp, where
thanks to the abounding courtesies oi
the Italian navy department, there art
plenty of machines. The hours of i
student are not all taken up with the
soaring through the heavens, person
ally conducted by a crack pilot-in
structor, who varies the monotony bj
sharp dives after lake ducks which
when caught on the wires, are handei
over to the tlalian mechanics as {
bribe to increase their efficiency.
The official list of the studies whicl
are sometimes crowded into the da;
of 'a student includes instruction ii
\ bluejackets’ manual, such as the nav;
regulations, what the navy is, wha
a fellow may do to get ahead, an<
so forth. Secondly, there is the vita
subject of motors, under which heai
come the theory and practice of me
tors, how to repair them, how the;
are made, their various parts, the dii
ferent kinds used in different me
chines, how* to handle them when ii
the air, and many other points.
The theory of airplanes comes thin
in the list—how and why a machin
stays in the air, the angles of tiltini
, the different wing sections, and hoi
\ to make airplanes and the kinds c
\ woods and fabrics necessary.
The fourth study is radio or wire
less, with practice in sending at leas
fifteen words a minute as an observe
tion officer. Next comes navigatioi
with ‘elementary groundwork in tti
handling of ships, but particularly i
the handling of both air and se
planes with respect to the plotting c
courses. On top of this the studei
gets infantry drill on the days whe
the wind makes practice flying dai
gerous, or is permitted to play bas<
ball in place of setting-up exercise
to keep him in good physical trim.
While most of the students alreac
i have passed groundwork training ar
> examinations either in France or tl
United States, this camp is consi
ered an excellent place not only f<
learning the practical handling of for
eign machines, but also for brushing
up in the eminent of the official list
of studies. They have plenty of time
on rainy days for such studies and for
discussing fine points of practice and
theory among themselves.
The use of special instruments, such
as the inclinometers, those register
ing altitude and the like, and the time
when such instruments will fail to
register, when a fellow must go by
“feel,” all open up wide fields for dis
cussion.
“It is in these discussions, with the
more experienced men about, such as
a warrant officer who has grown up
, in the steam navy and knows sea con
ditions, that the students get much
valuable information on how to act
under given circumstances.
"What would you do if a bird struck
' you in the face and broke your gog
j gles?” is one of the puzzling ques
| tions sometimes put. While this acci
dent has never occurred so far as anyi
one of the men knows, some maintain]
It comes within the range of possi
bility.
“How are you going to tell if a sub
marine is enemy or ally?” is another
point that frequently comes up for
discussion. When the long day is
done, after supper, the men are free
to swap yarns among themselves or
with the English-speaking Italian
pilots who have seen active duty
around Venice and in other ports of
the Italian seas. Sometimes they
“turn on the music" in the open air
and entertain the villagers with the
latest “canned stuff” that can he
ground out of the phonograph, a con
tribution to their pleasure from a na
val officer who remembers his own
lonely times on long stations. Ten
o’clock is bedtime, and every man
mus! then be in his room, although
if he chooses he may read later, the
village electric light plant permitting.
