However, for proper combustion a fixed ratio must be maintained between the fuel and the air, hence it may be said that the power depends directly on the weight of air used.

Editorial

IN the early days of the automobile, while the chain drive was still used and proper mufflers had not been invented, one often heard people say how noisy it would be if such contraptions came into general use.

I have been directed by the Commanding Officer, Air Service Primary Flying School, Brooks Field, to request you to publish the enclosed memorandum. I believe the memorandum is self-explanatory. During a recent investigation, it was disclosed that cadets discharged from this Station were carrying away with them pilot books filled with an abundance of unauthorized flying time.
