Naval Aviation

Admiral Moffett Takes Flying Training—Rear Admiral Wm. A. Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy is today taking intensive training in flying at Pensacola, Naval Air Station. This is by no means the first time Admiral Moffett has taken the air in a plane, as he has made many flights before, but now he is to take the training necessary for an observer or spotter in the Navy, and while he may not complete the course laid down for pilots, he will be pretty conversant with the feel of the air by the time he completes his course, which is to be a month at least and perhaps may extend over two or three months.
