Aeroplanes for Army Service Hard to Find
Eight aeroplanes ordered by the War Department under an emergency appropriation face delays. One Curtiss model tested at Newport News is satisfactory, three others fail, and the rest have not met requirements. Plans aim to equip two aeroplane squadrons with officers and enlisted men, twelve active and reserve planes each, plus spare parts and vehicles. Training and aviator pay reforms are proposed amid limited personnel. Radio-telegraph expansion on the Mexican border is planned to support operations and improve communications with Pershing’s forces, despite day radio difficulties and atmospheric interference.
