Radio Compass Turns Blind Landings Into Safe Flight
The Kruesi radio compass enables pilots to land in zero visibility by guiding the plane to a zero needle, with Captain Hegenberger testing and refining the system at Wright Field. Portable transmitters two miles and 1,500 feet from the field provide signals for a controlled descent and safe landing.

Voodoo Fire in Haiti and Other Summer Books Review
Richard Loederer’s Voodoo Fire in Haiti is praised for purple passion and lush setting though the author’s latest trip to Haiti dates back to 1923. Alito Wal ter and Tom Olsen’s Racing the Seas is a breezy grand sea tale with a sailor bold enough to cross the Atlantic in a tiny craft. Horace McCoy’s They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? is deemed an unimportant fate for two dance marathon participants. Joseph C Lincoln’s Storms Signals returns to Civil War Cape Cod with familiar ingredients and strong narrative voice. Stark Young’s Feliciana offers nineteen short sketches of the perfumed South and its people. Phoebe Atwood Taylor’s Deathblow Hill adds another Cape Cod mystery with craft and suspense. Cilette Claire’s The San Luca follows painters and a dog named Floc on a European houseboat as the voyage wanders.
