licensed women pilots, 171 of whom hold commercial licenses, certifying they have flown 200 hours or more and passed an extra stiff examination. In addition, there are 48 licensed women instructors, 22 of whom are currently employed in the Civil Aeronautics Authority civilian pilot training program, Training Costs Are High The civilian pilot training ruling, effective last July 1, which banned women from further CPT courses was a bitter pill for feminine would-be aces to swallow. Before that decision went through, 10 per cent of the student pilots in any training group could be women. The girls eagerly took advantage of this privilege and jumped the number of feminine licensees from 1336 in July, 1940, to more than double that number in July, 1941. Then, when the emergency proclamations caused a step-up in the number of masculine student pilots, the girls were cut out to allow more room for men in the over-taxed training centers. If women want to learn to fly now, they must attend regular commercial schools which cost a good deal more. An approximate estimate of training costs around Washington runs like this: $100 for the solo permit, after which plane rental runs about $200 to build up the required 35 hours of solo experience for a Class 1 license. Before you can fly the 200 hours to qualify for a commercial license, it will have set you back about a thousand bucks more, at $6.00 or so per hour. Meanwhile, you may be getting more instruction to qualify you for bigger planes.

- |Of course, if you own or borrow a

plane, your rental worries are over. Tre response to the questionnaires is very favorable, judging by Washington samples. The girls are nearly all saying, “Ready when called upon, Uncle Sarn.” They are prepared to toss aside their present jobs and indulge in their favorite hobby as a patriotic duty. Many are frank to say that they imagine the pay will be worth consideration, too, not to metition the variety of experience. Not Practical for Women

To come down to brass tacks, ferrying of big bombers by the ladies seems a not very practical undertaking, despite Jacqueline Cochran's recent successful demonstration flight. : Upon her return from ferrying a bomber over to England, Miss Cochran was enthusiastic in her belief that a unit of American women flyers, similar to the RAF's Auxiliary, could be organized. However, there are only four women licensed to fly multi-engined planes at the moment, and the training costs to obtain such licenses are very steep. The best bet seems to be to use women to ferry training ships and other light craft. Or to enlist them as ground-school instructors and copilots. Possibly, with a large per cent of the commercial airplane pilots in the Air Corps Reserve, there may be need for women in that field long open only to men. Many women pilots are surprised to find the Army breaking down and bothering about them. Last year when the question came up in Congressional committee hearings, only Admiral Towers gave the girls any encouragement, testifying he could ues them to fly training planes. At that time the Army was a bit scornful of the whole idea. Since then, the fame of the British WAAF’s has spread abroad. Their splendid safety record has reassured many sceptics, and their hardihood has won high praise from Churchill himself. Few realize that in the whole WAAF there are only 40-odd women, though a recent lowering of the requirement of flying hours from 200 to 150 may enable them to expand their service.
