Col- laborator . , . ^ "An excellent film for practical instruc- tion in flight, particularly for aeronautical training courses. Should be valuable also for general science and physics classes, at the junior high through adult levels. Photography, sound and organization are good."

In the first is a demonstration showing that air has enough mass to support certain objects. The second part consists of demonstrations of weight of air. This film is intended for use with "Aerodynamics — air resistance and stream-lining" and "Aerodynamics — lift", listed above, and is called Part 1 of this series B&H $2 Ohio VES $2 AERODYNAMICS (THEORY OF * FLIGHT).

Wind tunnel tests demonstrate the relation of air velocity to lift and drag on plain and cambered airfoils. Con- trol of airplane movements about vertical, lateral, and longitudinal axes by means of the rudder, elevator, and ailerons, respectively, is demonstrated in pitching, rolling, and yawing. A companion film to "Problems of flight," listed above "Our committee was very disappointed in the pedagogical value of these films." Col- laborator "An excellent film for aeronautical train- ing courses, and a good film for physics and general science classes at the junior high through adult levels. Because of its content it is recommended that at least two, and pre- ferably three, showings be planned for each class in which the film is used. Technically, the film is above the average in every way."

Receiving equipment, ground work, army paper instruction, classes in design, sending and receiving radio code, learning the controls, exajnining rigging and structure in hangars, solo flight, blind flying, aerial acrobatics, graduation, receiving commissions—all these things combine to make a thoroughly instruc- tive, educational and entertaining film."

A business man needs certain papers from his Los Angeles oflfice so that he can catch the Hawaiian Clipper. It is 11 a.m. and the Clipper leaves at 2 p.m. He phones his secretary in Los Angeles, who catches a plane and brings the papers to him just as the Clipper takes off. "Operation of the airports. Duties of the pilot, co-pilot, and hostess of the airliner are shown. The instrument boards of the airliner are explained. The picture ends with the Clipper taking off over the Pacific." Arizona "The terminology in the narration may be considered too difficult for second or third grade children, but they are becoming familiar with these terms from their general conver- sations and from their studies of the subject, therefore a little preparation before running the film will permit them to keep the thread of explanation. The 'Air liner' is not a spon- sored film. Neither United Airlines nor Pan- American contributed anything to the filming of this subject, except to make their apparatus available for photographing. The cost of production was borne entirely by Donavin Miller Productions." Producer "Not only is the picture informative, fine in detail, and authentic in subject matter, but it is so interestingly photographed, so well edited, and carries such an excellent balance of story and suspense, that it maintains in- terest throughout. Truly, I may say that it is so far ahead of the average educational film that it is in a class by itself." Alice E. Field "Very popular in all grades."

The use of drafting Instruments and the reading of blueprints is indicated as a step which is necessary to stu- dents in sheet metal work. Extreme closeups illustrate the procedures and techniques of work The film deals with three basic projects: drag truss fitting, flange reinforcement, I-beam spar. All of these projects clearly illustrate some of the basic steps practiced in sheet metal work NFS $3 Ohio VES $3 «i-silent; sd - sound; f - inflammable; nf ' safety; - college; I • primary; el - elementary; Jli - Junior high; sh - senior high; trade • trade schools 211
