Walter Hoile Is Mentioned In Story 'The Chicago Tribune carried an article written by one of its correspondents with the U. S. Fifth Army in Italy, describing the feats of five liaison pilots in landing and taking off at a ski jump airfield in the Italian Alps area. One of the five pilots mentioned is Lt. Walter Hoile of this city, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hoile. Lt. Hoile has been awarded the Air Medal for his achievements id the air corps. The correspondent describes the landing strip, which is walled in on one skle by a mountain, in the following cryptic manner: "The engineer who laid out the ski jump must have been filled either with whisky or a hatred for puddle jumpers and their pilots, because his creation is dia'bolical. The runway is 245 yards long and 30 feet wide and lies directly up and down the slope of a mountain at a 20 degree angle from the horizontal. The high end is 97 feet above the lower. From the bottom, which has been built up 30 feet above actual ground level for a ski jump takeoff, the slope drops away sharply 2,000 feet to the valley floor.” (Planes piloted by Lt. Hoile and other aces are known as Horsefliec and Grasshoppers, which are small 65 to 190 -horse power artillery observation planes, "which ever since Salerno,, have been putt-putting QVbr Hie Itelhin line'’, taking, off and landing on ivoiuls, hillsides and I what have you.”. , .
