Hill brings Miss Syler and Miss Kern around to lunch. They come out to look over the Hangars and Grant went up to stunt a little. Wanny went off with Miss Kern and left Flight to Me.  Spend p.m. working on Gadgetts for Very's lights.

MacArthur sure has some good ideas about streamlining his buss. I am going to get them put on my buss at the first opportunity. Old Spencer plagues around to get the wind-shield on my ship changed. I am going to let him change it later on. Flanner seems to be a very steady man 

McGrath is on K.P. and I have another man temporarily which isn't bad as I believe he is better than MacGrath.  Rucker's buss has no guns or instruments. Clapp buss arrived yesterday complete
