Government for Purchase of Ground for Free Aviation Events
The National Capital will host a continuous aviation tournament with no ticket takers on the field. Negotiations aim to complete the purchase of ground near Washington by the War Department for an aerodome. Congress appropriated 126000 to buy airplanes, with 25000 immediately available. Brigadier General Alien seeks offers from manufacturers and expects aircraft in Washington soon. Hangars will be built, and operations may begin as weather permits. Signals officers including Benjamin D Toulin will train others, with two army officers at Glenn Curtiss near San Diego set for Washington. Bailey fights and many tests are planned as the army advances toward an aeroplane corps.
