Aviator signaling networks to guide US air routes planned
International News Service reports plans for a nationwide system of field markers and signs to guide aviators from Hempstead Plains to Oyster Bay and other locations.

The training program uses camera-based target practice to simulate warfare. New York law requires boys aged sixteen to nineteen to undertake military training or prove work in defense oriented roles.
