HARVARD FLYING CLUB BEGINS THIRD SEASON

The Harvard Flying Club has entered its third year as a full fledged organization with its own airplane. Started on March 12, 1925, by R. H. Jackson '26, in its short life it has already shown that it deserves a place among the University extra curricular activities. The organization was incorporated by Raymond Baldwin '16.

Mr. Baldwin served during the war in Italy and is the president of the Airport Corporation, which represents the combined interests of the Boston flying concerns.

In the club elections for this year, held last week, W. N. Bump '28 was elected president, F. L. Ames '28 viceer, Crocker Snow 1L. secretary and A. president, M. N. Fairbanks '28 treasurer, Crocker Snow 1L. secretary, and A. U. Pabst 1L., R. W. Ayer '28, and F. P. Sproul '28 became directors. There are ten men on the flight committee, to be eligible for which one must have flown ten hours alone. There are 23 men in the club.

Their plane, the Travel Air OX-5, was bought last year by the club and was made possible mainly as a result of the generosity of F. L. Ames '28, vice-president, who loaned the club $2000 with which to buy the plane. Since last fall it has been completely overhauled and refinished and last week it was towed to the airport. It was first taken on a trial trip by one of the experienced aviators and when it was declared to be in perect condition Crocker Snow 1L., without a parachute, took her up for a twenty minute solo.
