REPORT OF THK 



No. 3 



The present situation is much happier in this regard than it has ever been, 

 in that specialized machines may be readily procured which need very little 

 alteration to suit the work that the Service is called upon to perform. Specializa- 

 tion, in so far as the Air Service is concerned, is the one avenue toward economical 

 operation. This has been attained as a result of years of careful examination 

 of flying statistics and sound application of the lessons learned therefrom. 



Tables and Graphs: 



A further table follows, giving a comparison of certain operational features 

 for the past five years of the Service. Since this table is more or less self- 

 explanatory, it is only necessary to point out that the column of figures under 

 the year 1932 indicates that the demands for 1932 were subnormal. An idea of 

 the intensity of the demand may be easily seen from a comparison of the flights 

 requisitioned for each of the past three years. A fair opinion of the work 

 accomplished may also be had by comparing the loadings for the same period. 

 A survey of the whole column shows that all equipment was kept busy, and that 

 an intense fire hazard would have extended our equipment and personnel to the 

 utmost to give adequate service.
