A barrel-chested pee-wee (4 ft. 8 in.) who learned to ride on the Western "bush"' tracks (county fairs), still lives in a trailer and looks as clumsy as Ichabod Crane on a horse. Johnny Adams has an extraordinary flair for getting the best out of the cheapest plater...

...tactics, weapons, strategies are in the making. At the Air Corps' experimental Wright Field are such men as Major Carl F. Greene, whose wing designs largely made possible the modern monoplane, whose new pressure cabin is carrying military and commercial aviation into the substratosphere; Capt. Carl J. Crane, whose radio-controlled plane has completed 160 landings without a hand on the controls; Major Edwin R. Page, in whose laboratories engines with 3,000 h.p. in a single unit soon will be on test; Major George W. Goddard, whose color cameras capable of making pictures at 15,000 ft. altitude...
