Washington reports the War Department is studying ending the extra wartime pay for aviation personnel. The extra pay reflected aviation’s hazard, but Allied casualty data show air service is less dangerous in war than infantry on the whole. A first lieutenant in aviation, upon earning the rating of military aviator, becomes a captain for pay purposes, with about 2400 dollars yearly. Regular flight duties add 50 percent, and foreign service adds another 20 percent, boosting pay beyond four thousand dollars annually.
