[[Four images of pilots to the left and center of main text. Three of the pilots are male, one is female. Also next to them are various pieces of headgear like caps and helmets one can cut and paste onto the pilots. Underneath the female pilot it says "This aviatrice is dressed in a serviceable uniform similar to that worn by Ruth Law."]]

A NAVAL AIRPLANE

With Its Daring Crew

LAST month we gave our young readers a model battleship; now we show them a naval airplane all ready for service. Extra copies of this page, printed on heavy paper, without lettering on the other side may be obtained by sending five cents postage to the Picture Editor, care of THE DELINEATOR, New York.  Like most seaplanes, this one can be turned out quickly and requires only one or two young aviators to operate it.


Figure A represents a lieutenant of aviation in service uniform.  Figure B shows him dressed in a one-piece naval suit of waterproof cloth or light leather, with the accompanying helmet.  Figure C shows his leather coat and hood.

THIS drawing gives one a good idea of a modern, up-to-date, naval airplane in flight, speeding over the Atlantic in search of a treacherous submarine.  It shows a five-pointed star resembling the star painted on naval planes to conform to the new orders regarding the insignia for United States aircraft.


[[Image of two more pilots, though the page is cut off by another page on top of it. There are two more heads with aviation gear on above them one could cut off the page and paste onto the two pilots to change their look, similar to the images above.]]

ENLIST!


Young man!  Uncle Sam wants you today for the Aviation Corps!


Ruth Law is a recruiting officer of the United States Government.  She has given war-help in assisting in the selling of the Liberty Loan Bonds.  She has flown across devastated fields of France and seen the wreck and havoc that the German troops have made.   If she were a man she would be at the front today for Uncle Sam.


Do not look upon this call as a chance for heroic sacrifice but as an [italics]opportunity[end italics] that must be grasped at once.  What boy is there with youth and red blood in his veins who has not at some idle moment or in the midst of his daily work stopped to think and said to himself:"Oh if I could only do something different; get out of this and be free!"

Every young man has the longing that the young birds have, if he only knew what it was, to fly.  You have it too.  And your nation needs you.

Once you have mastered the art of handling your airplane and find your- [[cut off]]

Aviators in small numbers can do little good; thousands are needed.  It requires six months for training and there is no branch of the service that affords such an opportunity for individual advancement.  Today you are a beginner, and tomorrow, if you have the right stuff in you, you can be the foremost man in your escadrille. Flying breeds daring and self-reliance.  After you become a trained aviator dangers that seemed appalling to you when you were in your office or [[cut off]]
