Cur away to reveal its
interior mechanism, a fuse-
lage of a big twin-motored
plane helps train future
Army flyers at Randolph
Field, Texas. Through win-
dows made by removing
sections of the metal cover-
ing from the ribs, a clear
view may be had of all the
intricate control cables and
wiring that go into a mod-
ern fighting craft. By first-
hand study, under the
direction of an experienced
instructor, the flying cadets
quickly familiarize them-
selves with the purpose, ap-
pearance, and mechanical
design of each essential fit-
ting which, out of sight dur-
ing flight, nevertheless
performs vital functions in
control, operation, and per-
formance of the giant air-
craft. The illustration at
left shows a group of them
peering through the bared
ribs to find out, with the aid
of the windowed section,
what makes a plane work.
