Artillery and other units in training at
March Field, Riverside, Calif., have plenty
of chances to practice aiming their three-
inch rifles at real planes. Their 1,500-acre
training ground adjoins the mile-long main
runway of March Field, base of the 1st
Wing, G.H.Q. Air Force, and their training
is part of the first integrated air-land pro-
gram ever undertaken by the U.S. Army.
In addition to the usual shooting at towed |
targets, and other tactical exercises with |
planes, the antiaircraft artillerymen are |
able to practice using their sound-detecting, |
range-finding, and “tracking” instruments |
on aircraft that are approaching and tak- |
ing off from the field at all hours of the |
day and night. |
