Weekly Aviation WHEELS FAIL EAKER, BUT HE LANDSMFELY Gear Folds Up, but Flier Is Undaunted; Other Aviation News. BY ERNIE PYLE geHppa-Howard Aviation Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. —Captain Ira Eaker, famous army flier, this week for the fifth time in his flying career was forced to land his airplane without wheels. It was the same old trouble. The landing gear of his fast racing plane, which folds up into the wing, - refused to unfold when he got ready to land. So he Just slid the ship along the ground on its belly until it stopped. Nothing hurt but' the propeller. Eaker has had similar experiences in Mexico, Cleveland and twice at Bolling field here. The latest one was at Mitchell field, New York. Lindy Helps Jobless Officials of the American Legion have worked out a plan with the United States employment service to help alleviate the unemployment condition.

Also, the new Packard Diesel engines are to be built soon in Czechoslovakia. Lighted Map Helps Landings “A lighted map on the desk of the radio telephone operator of American Airways at Dallas tells him the direction and velocity of the wind, and the correct runway for planes to use. He then telephones landing instructions to incoming planes. Benny Myers, assistant superintendent of the Air Mail Service, who knows most of the mail pilots in this country, has this to say about them: “The more I travel around the more I admire the boys who are flying the mail planes. They are 100 per cent scientific and, regardless of the seriousness of their duties, most of them find opportunities to express a bit of humor.” As an example, he cited the report made by a T. & w. A. mail pilot after landing at Kansas City. The report said: “Ceiling fifty feet, visibility five telephone poles.” Pilots Get Gold Stars Pilots of the Pacific Air Transport (Seattle-San Diego) wear a gold star on their sleeve for each 1,000 hours’ flying with the company.
