System First Tried By Spaatz in 1929
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 11 — An old aviation stunt revived by the atomic age is providing the United States with one of its {| most vital weapons.
Mid-air refueling of airplanes was one of the big flying wonders of 1929. In that year, Gen. | Carl Spaatz, retiring Air Force Chief, kept the famous “Question Mark” plane aloft seven days by refueling in flight to’ set a new endurance record.

plane. : Shoots Out a Line
The tanker plane moves to
ithe trailing arc and shoots out a line. It also has a hogk on the end, which crosses the bomber's trailing line in such a fashion that the two hooks become fastened. The British say this part of the procedure is relatively simple and seldom misses. The tanker plane then fastens a hose to the bomber's line and the bomber reels back the line this| 2nd the hose. The hose automatically fastens into the bomber's tank. The first substance which passes through the hose is an inert .gas which is supposed to make the whole operation fireproof. The tanker plane then climbs above the bomber and gravity, lets the gasoline flow from tanker to bomber.
