written specially for the weekly papers of ontario during themast war it was the pleasant custom to give a pilot some flrty hours or scmn the air and then send nlm to thefront ready to fight rhis is a different kind of war as has been poijned out by thousands of other writers already and planes are vastly different the period of train ing now takes at least six months and nothing is left to chance there is no actual flying at the initial training school at toronto the buildings are situated in the clt with no room for a flying field or hangars but the future pilots get their first lessons in the link trainer a plane with miniature wings firmly anoiored to the ground i saw the link trainers wherever i went to the various training schools even the most experienced flyers go back to them occasionally to check up any faults which may have devel oped or to learn more about flying at night or by instruments learning to fly on the ground the link trainer in its simpler forms looks like a small training plane but with the body and wings shortened so that it takes up less space than a full sized plane the cockpit and controls are ol normal size the stick which regulates the ele vators and the movable portions of the wings and the pedals to operate the tail are like those in a cub or other small plane the instrument board has the five or six instruments needed for ordinary frying a com pass altitude meter engine speed in dicator and so on out in front is a halfcircle of celluloid or some similar material which looks like a whirling propellor there are several models of link trainers it is said that the machine was invented by the son of a pipe organ manufacturer which ac counts for the fact that the trainer actually rides on air inside a leather bag or bellows the trainers are made in gananoque ontario there are many stories about the development of this trainer and it is hard to sort oub the truth one ver sion is that the inventor was a can adlan who tried to sell his model to the united states army but the offi cials thought it was just a toy and re jected it the thing appeared next in amusement parks and that is where i first saw one compared to present- day link trainers it really wasnt much more than a toy though the principle remains the same in war time the trainer is worth its weight in gold it is hard to see how pilots of 300mlleanhour planes could be taught in six months without such help 1 have spoken in previous articles about the unfailing courtesy of the officers i met at the various camps and schools they gave me their valuable time so that the readers of weekly papers of ontario could read about the air training plan but they went much farther than merely ans- w ertng questions they let me do many of the things the students do flying is no novelty to me but never had a ride in a link trainer one day at camp borden the gover norgeneral was making a tour of in spection and he was given a tryout in one of these machines he seemed to enjoy being whirled around and bumped about and as he climbed from the cockpit i heard him remark we do some funny things some times at that moment i envied a governorgeneral for the first and only time an ambition gratified the urge to pilot one of these machines came back again as i stood and watched a row of them in oper- eratlon at the initial training school at eglinton these were the advanced trainers with twenty or more instru ments on the dash and a hood that fitted down over the pilot so that he was blind the students seemed to be forty or fifty years old a contrast to the youthful faces i had seen at all the other schools enquiry showed that they were bush pilots and other experienced fliers qualifying to become instructors on these same machines i asked my guide if i might try my hand in one of them it was strictly against the rules he said and besides these trainers were only for advanced pilots and i wouldnt enjoy the experience much but he sugges ted that i take my request to flying officer bishop i did and met much the same ans wer but i thouught the flying officer we passed down the aisle between structures that looked like huffe vats and opened the door into one of them there in the centre of a circular room stood a bright blue link trainer with gray wings as handsome a machine of its kind as i ever saw the setting was unique too murals had been painted all around the walls moun tains lakes towns and on one side a gray bank of clouds this is where the beginners learn how to fly i climbed up a few steps and into the cockpit i put a pair of head phones on my ears and listened to the instructions that the flying officer was giving me as he turned on the power he told me how to get the plane off the ground how to hold the stick and how my feet should be placed on the pedals he tojd me how to turn to the right and the utte plane began to swing around in that direction while the lakes and rivers crept past press down harder on that right foot he said and i pressed dawn too hard and went ottt of control down with your left foot and he stick to the leftl and again i over did it but that was probably the intention well try a little dual instruction now to give you a better idea how to use the controls to my surprise the stick suddenly stiffened in my hand and went where it ought to go for correct turns and it wasn t long before i was flying around without much difficulty and feeling pretty big about it too and all the time i marvelled at how muchr like actual flying it really felt rough weather ahead now we are flying on a bumpy day the instructor told me as he reached down and pulled another levctr somewhere out of sight tie change was immediate the plane be came hard to control memories of actual rides on bumpy days came bak vividly how long my lesson lasted i could only guess i was too interested to watch the time it might have been twenty or thirty minutes whatever it was i was sorry i wouldn t be having another one every day certain spots on the scenery around the walls are marked with letters the student may be asked to keep the trainer on that mark and fly toward it in the bumpy air scales which hang down from all four corners of the machine show quite definitely how successful the lesson has been ilthe student lacks coordination or has other definite faults his instructors mow ti befbrehe ever goes up in a real plane the advanced link trainers have much more complicated systems of indicating how well the student is do ing the instructor sits at ft table with instruments and a chart in ont of hlm jhe

call it but it reminds me of a ouija board perhaps you reme the ouija un der the pressure of the tips of the fin gers a heartshaped board supported on three legs moved over a table and spelled out words in the trainer one leg has a small rubber tired wheel which draws red lines on the paper to show how well the pilot is doing and where he is flying the course at the iiutiat-trainimr- school
