Air hammers drove through the rocks. A a a 2the stars and stripes monday May 21, 1945 air plane accidents in the states exceeded those on All War fronts by Jack Stinnett associated press staff writer Washington May 20�?don�?Tt ask me to Cut any Clear lines in the controversy Over the number of air plane accidents in training for the services and in so called a Rou Tine flights which involve everything from training to transcontinental transport i Only know that it is coming Back into the news before Long and it is Likely that after a year and half of silence another report on flying safety in the services will come out of a Senate investigating committee. According to senator Langer the Truman committee now the Mead Coniry it tee investigating War activities promised a report on air plane service accidents 17 months ago but As yet nothing has been forthcoming. Sen Langer says he is informed that As late As october 1944, Gen h. H Arnold chief of the army air forces reported that there had been 17.500 plane crashes in the United states alone More than had occurred at that time in the aah on ail the Battle fronts. These figures Are startling even staggering but they will have to be broken Down much farther than that before the True significance of them is Clear. Indications Are now that the report will show primary flight training fatal accidents to total less than one to 00,000 hours of flight this compares with the army air Force report some months earlier that the primary training rate of fatality m one to approximately 42,500 hours. In world War l the training fatality was reportedly one in every 1,146 hours and by 1939, it had been reduced to Only one in 16,000 hours. Now. If no breakdown Mars the conclusions that May be drawn from these figures flight training at the very Peak of Pilot output was safer than Ever before three to four times safer than it was in 1939 when training was a comparatively slow and easy process on a very Small scale. There you have both sides of it. If those interested in Congress Able to draw out a Complete it should be interesting. In some respects it May be sensational turning up accidents due to faulty Striction As Well As training carelessness. On the other hand the Overall picture May show an training safety quotient than driving an automobile for a couple of full lifetimes. Most aviation officials Here think that in run the emphasis will be the latter with perhaps some standing criticisms that May much Good both in the armed ices and postwar civilian a raining.

This Road permitted the chinese British and american troops to cooperate in a grand military and engineering Battle against the Jungle and the japs. For every mile along the 1,044-mile Road there is a grave of an american Soldier. The Road was built through a country where it sometimes Rains seven inches a Day and 50 inches a month chinese coolies English and american labourers worked continuously to get the Road in shape. One aspect of the magnitude of the task is apparent when we realize that roads possesses the worlds longest pipeline to feed gasoline and Oil to China Over the Foothills of the Himalayas.

With the opening of the Road they were Able to emerge from the Leech malaria Sodden Jungle into the Flat Roefe Ilc of lower Burma. Their tanks and mechanized equipment had Good roads to run Over.
