Studies Flying.
Col. D. A. Morris writes that he is at 925 Airborne Engr. Reg. Aviation, Westover Field, Mass. He came back from Europe two months ago. Had been out of the U.S. 16 months. In addition to his ordinary air force duties, he has been taking flying instructions and about ten days ago made his first solo flight. He visited his son, James, at West Point a few days ago. Under a new scheme just started last year, cadets who apply and pass the physical examination, get their flying instruction while still in the academy and graduate with wings.
