European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 17, 1945, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Employment in the manufacturing end is due Lor a postwar nose but there will be openings in other phases of the by Sanderson Vanderbilt yank staff whats the Deal on jobs in aviation after the War from Scotland to Saipan gis whom the army has taught to maintain and Fly planes Are figuring that they ought to be Able to carry on in civilian life do ing the same sort of work Treyve become expert at in and for real these hopeful Joes Are Likely to reckon in their Rosier pipe a or Evert instead of Uncle Sams Lousy the Best thing for such optimists to do is to take a cold drink some Black Coffee and sober because the chances Are that things Arent going to work out that not if the civil aeronautics administration in Washington knows what its talking and it has been doing some Plain and fancy checking on the the As the Caa sees it in the Light of its has its Bright but it also has some pretty Black the setup seems to be this the air plane the business of building what it takes to due for one of the tailspin in manufacturing but partly making up for there should a consider Able increase in the use of planes for a variety of new thus providing employment for More pilots and maintenance men than Ever be fore in first heres the bad and hold onto your hats because it about As easy to take As a according to the some students of the subject think we will be Lucky if As much As 2 percent of the present plan manufacturing Industry keeps going after the right now its doing 20 billion dollars Worth of business a if the 2 percent boys Are it will Wither to a Industry hiring a Mere two percent May be too pessimistic a and chairman of the War production thinks it but even he Doest expect that More than from 5 to 10 percent of the Industry will theres one big says the that might give the Industry the shot in the Arm needed to prove these gloomy prophets the if is the possible sudden development of an Inex pen practical plane that anyone could sort of Aerial this might be a helicopter or it might be something of an entirely new the likelihood of a new planes making its appearance is obviously As for Heli although their development is coming right the general belief seems to be that they wont be ready for widespread use for an other five or 10 so when it comes to applying for a Job at an air plane it looks As if the air minded Veteran might just As Well save his the4 big opening for the Caa is probably going to be in Industrial flying in the boys in the know say they  be sur prised if More than 90 percent of All postwar employment connected with aviation were in this Here Are some highlights of the Industrial flying setup the Caa regards flight instruction As a potential source of steady employment in a moderately Active Market and adds As private planes become easier to the flight instructor will probably change into a Salesman instructor who will teach each purchaser As part of the sales As the Caa dopes it quite an increase May be expected in Aerial photography and Char Ter both of which were Good sources of business before the improved photographic equipment and experience gained by the services in Aerial reconnaissance should increase the efficiency of commercial air cameramen and thus create a wider demand for their services in sur soil control and so along with stepped up demand for charter rent plane which was just get Ting going before the will presumably develop into quite a come a transport of Light freight by air is a business that i is really going the Caa there will be greater possibilities Here than in any other commercial transport it states perishable foods will probably constitute an important part of this for a converted War cargo plane could Load up with oranges in Fly them to new England and on to deliver a shipment of Maine lobsters to some midwestern All in the same most if they play around at All with the idea of going into postwar probably think first of the commercial passenger but if you take the Caas advice youll think of something else because your chances Are apparently going to be pretty slim in that it is and airline officials emphasize that the airlines will not be big employers after the is the Blunt Way the Caa puts the most optimistic estimate places the maximum number of airline planes that May be in operation on commercial passenger runs Dur ing the first five years of peace at these would need to men As flight Crews and men on the no great shakes As a source of mass especially since Many of the jobs will be filled by former employees of the airlines now in the Caa foresees Many jobs for pilots in a number of More or less novel take Aerial for a considerable in crease is expected in the use of planes to dust and Spray crops against insect pests with the help of highly effective new poisons developed for Rice is already being planted from the air and grains probably will be Burn Dover Range lands Are also being reseeded by Hunting wolves and other animal pests from the first practice As a has recently been converted into a profitable enter strafing such critters pays off handsomely in and theres a Bonus in it if you feel like skinning them and Selling their com Mercial fishing fleets Are Likely to use planes to help them spot schools of fish and theres the possibility that conservationists will use flyers to Stock Remote lakes with which is the Piscat orial Way of saying baby Aerial fire spotting in Timber country is relatively old but it has developed some new wrinkles firefighters Are now flown to Forest fires and parachuted to the where they Are Given radioed directions and supplied with food and equipment from the inspection by Low flying planes of the nations thousands of Miles of new Oil pipelines Laid Dur ing the War is also in the the Caa has cooked up a plan of its own if Congress should give it the Green would More than double the number of airports in the nation and provide operational jobs for at the present time there Are about airports in the and the Caas which would be financed in part by Federal would boost this number to most new Fields would be Small ones for private on the each would require 10 Airport management and maintenance has new importance in the aviation employment Pic says the the old Slipshod methods can no longer airports must adopt Busi Ness principles comparable to those in older and established cities will need Airport managers and fixed base operators will need pilots and so that How things stand at the its not the whole of but probably enough to give you an idea of which Way the wind is heres the cautious note on which the Caa winds up the desire of the aviation Industry to offer jobs to veterans and others who plan a career in aviation must be considered with the under standing that the Industry cannot possibly main Tain employment approaching the present level after the including Many will withdraw from work thou Sands More will go Back to their own True Trade which has been eliminated during War Many civilian commodities which Are almost extinct at present will Siphon off other As Al a Man with Good judg ment and ambition will find his natural place in the work for which he is Best lets 7
