MONDAY 12TH. 559
Morning of early rising drill and board meeting with Maj. [[?]] + Lt. Holler to pass on N.C.Os. and M.Cs and A.ms.
in [[?]] at office rom 1 to 4. Ten up in the aero with Lt. [[Hachett?]]. Bill got more accustomed to the game today. We made 3 landings and he flew the bus considerably. Beginning to learn it does't take much to put the ship through its paces. And that no jerking is required. And that the motor sound is telltale in speaking of safety, and that when the throttle is cut the nose must go down, and that one may stall, and all those little details. Coordination of senses is becoming his good asset and I hope he'll solo the latter part of this week. When we came down, by the way, he was informed that he was a Captain. Hooray.
