Mr. might be called upon, to pack in four jeeps; maybe a bulldozer or a medium weight tank; or just a load of troops, 76 of them, Right now, thePacket has proven itself to such a degree, as far as the RCAF is concerned, that close to 40 of them have been ordered. “It’s a pilot’s dream,” Doc told those who poured through on an inspection tour examining every­ thing from the foam rubber, movable skipper’s seat to the huge swinging doors 40 feet to the rear which allow cargo to be loaded on in a hurry. Everything on the twin-engine plane is electrical and so con­ structed that if one source of electricity fails, current can be obtained, from another. If that source goes dead anothei* switch is utilized. Radio equipment is at the pilot’s fingertips and for the first time in any Canadian plane the radio operator is placed where he has a full view’ of the ground without leaving his seat. The navigator is situated behind the co-pilot where he has plenty of elbow room and can spot points below merely by glancing from his chart. Visibility from ail crew seats is increased by the use of more than the usual num­ ber of windows. Powered by two 18-cylinder 3,500 h.p. Wright engines, the Packet can roar fully loaded (12 tons) into the sky after a take­ off run of little more than l,00u feet, Using its reversible paddle­ type props for braking the min­ ute it touches the ground it can come to a dead stop in consider­ ably less. Series Of Parachutes "This plane can serve in­ numerable purposes in a theatre of war,” he said. “In eight sec­ onds we can drop twenty 500 pound bundles of ammunition or food and 22 para-troops onto a given spot. If they needed a tank or bulldozer we could drop them one. And if they suffered casual­ ties w’e pick them up them to hospital.” “Dropping a heavy done by allowing a parachutes to “catch” __ rear of “delivery” opening of and take item series out is plane, the last one pulling the item out.” Crew* for undergo a ' course before the plane. This is bein„ out at Edmonton by 435 Squad­ ron, where a number of these type planes are based. Shortly the Cl 19 will take over all RCAF transport operations in eastern Canada, operating out of Dorval. "At first sight it looks like a big clumsy lumbering type of plane,” Doc says, "but after you see it perform you get a differ­ ent idea of it altogether. “Fighter pilots are always raz­ zing us whenever we drop into a new station. They laughed out of the other side of their mouths the other day at Montreal though. We just picked up one of their Sabres, shoved it inside and flew’ off.” with a distinguished pew line of s the Packet must two-week training they are allowed in g carried Charles A.

While I might .save money by dealing with the bee. there's a good possibility that my lark of training, knowledge and exper­ ience would result in my getting stung.
