YOUNGEST PILOT.- Here's George (Buck) Weaver, 10, of Toledo, O., flying son of flying father. George stepped into dead father's footsteps recently by taking over controls of a Cessna monoplane and piloting it from Lorain, O., 50 miles to Cedar Point.

THE TOLEDO NEWS-BEE
TOLEDO BOY, 10, PILOTS SPEEDING PLANE 50 MILES; MAKES BANKS, TURNS LIKE VET
A 10-YEAR-OLD Toledo aviator was trying to keep his mind on his school books Monday, but it was pretty difficult after the thrill that came to him on Sunday when he piloted a plane without assistance for a distance of 50 miles. 
The boy flier is George Weaver of 4123 Packard road, shown in the accompanying picture with his mother, Mrs. Hattie Myers Junkins, and his sister Janet. George is the son of the late "Buck" Weaver, formerly a United States army aviation instructor. His mother is the controlling owner of the Advance Aircraft corporation, so flying comes naturally to him. 

ON SUNDAY, Mrs. Junkins and George were flying back to Toledo from Cleaveland. Their plane was piloted by Parker Cramer, well-known aviator who soon is to attempt a 'round-the-world flight with Bert Hassell. 
Cramer who has been giving the boy ground instructions, suddenly relinquished the stick to George. The boy coolly took up the role of pilot, steering the ship perfectly on its course between Lorain, O., and Cedar Point, where the regular pilot once more took control. 

CRAMER said the boy had driven the plane excellently and had made banked turns like a veteran pilot. 
He expects to continue as George's instructor and when the ground tests are finished will give the boy further instructions in the air.
