More Iowans On Air Force Job—In or out of the cockpit of their 450-horsepower basic training Valiant, this trio of Iowans is always busy at the job of mastering flight maneuvers. These aviation cadets put a model plane through the paces which are on schedule at Goodfellow Field, army air forces basic flying school at San Angelo, Texas, before they move on to advanced school and wings. Night takeoffs and landing, acrobatics, stalls and spins must be learned before assignment to an army air forces combat post. From left to right are John H. Bauwens, Davenport: Victor W. Adamek, 22, Traer and Kenneth E. Bailey, 26, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bailey, 1617 Ingleside Avenue, Sioux City.
