There you are, 2,000 feet up in the air in an airplane of course Do you peek cautiously over the side, gasp, and then collapse? Not if you have taken the Flying Observer's course No, you calmly scan the terrain beneath you, your finger ready on the wireless key or the flash signal cord, alert to any signs of distress areas. If Chicago is attacked, such will be the actions of the 85 students now enrolled in the Flying Observer's course intro duced this semester. The purpose of the course is to train young women to recognize distress areas from the air, to locate them accurately on maps, and to communicate their ob servations to ground headquarters by means of code. Beside Morse Code, sight-signalling and map study, future Flying Observers will learn something of celestial naviga tion and meteorology. The course is con ducted by T. F. Myers, Jr., of the Avia tion Aides.
