U. S. Air Forces

Maj. Raycroft Walsh of the Army Air Service resigned his commission on June 1, 1926. The separation of Major Walsh from the Air Service is a distinct loss to this Branch. He was perhaps far better qualified as an expert on Latin American aviation conditions than any other American.

Helpless Hints to Dizzy Aviators

To those who are not familiar with Aviation I dedicate this great manuscript, and for their benefit I will start with the mistake that is most often made: 1. Never attempt to fly a ship with the motor missing. It is always better in the long run to delay the flight until the motor can be found and replaced in the ship.

On Control of Airplanes at Low Speeds

Few subjects in the sphere of airplane design from the purely aerodynamic standpoint are of such importance as is the question of the control of airplanes at speeds corresponding with the stalled attitude of airfoils. More thought and experimental investigation has been and is still being given to this subject than to almost any other aerodynamic problem.

A Handbook for the Model Enthusiast

It would seem almost natural in the development of a new and highly complex art that man should first attempt the solution of the many problems upon such a scale that, in linear dimensions, at least, he may from the outset consider himself the master.

The Guggenheim Competition

UNDOUBTEDLY ONE of the most interesting items in aeronautical news at this time is the announcement, made elsewhere in this issue of AVIATION, of the tentative plans of the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. It will be remembered that when, several months ago, Daniel Guggenheim made known his generous gift of $2,500,000 to the cause of advancing aviation, the opinion was expressed in these columns that, with the very able and consciencious body of men gathered together to sponsor the Fund, some real good would result and that assistance would be directed to the quarter in which it would have the greatest value.
