Grumman Fl IF-IF TIGER.
June, 1913 also marked the
first aviation fatality in t h e
Navy. Ensign W. D. Billings
ly, Naval Aviator No. 9 w a s
I thrown from his aircraft at
1,000 feet over Annapolis. Lap
belts had not yet been invented.
In January 1914 Pensacola
Naval Air Station was commis
sioned. It remains one of the
Navy’s largest aviation facili
ties, headquarters for the Na
val Air Training Command,
where all of the Navy’s junior
birdmen sprout their wings.
Lieutenant Bellenger also
marked up another first in
April of that year. While flying
reconnaissance in the vicinity
of Vera Cruz during the Mexi
can border incident of that year,
his aircraft was hit and dam
aged by enemy fire. This was
the first Naval aircraft to feel
the effects of combat. In June

a little known Austrian Arch
duke was assassinated in Sara
jevo, Bosnia. This ignited a ser
ies of fuses which eventually
embroiled the world in a glo
bal conflict.
Naval Aviation Forces autho
rized in March 1915 included
48 officers, 98 men in the Navy,
and 12 officers and 24 men in
the Marine Corps. Just 30 years
later, during World War 11, the
Navy had 48,948 pilots on ac
tive duty. . . an increase of
1,000 fold.
During April 1916, Lieuten
ant R. C. Saufley flew a Navy
hydro-aeroplane to an altitude
of 16,072 feet —a new record.
The United States entered
World War I in April 1917. The
Navy's fighting force consisted
of 6 flying boats, 45 seaplanes,
3 landplanes, 1 airship, 2 kite
balloons, 1 free balloon, and 1
air station. The Navy’s aero
nautical contingent landed in
France on 5 June 1917 to be
come the first U. S. Force to
arrive for service in Europe.
On 14 October 1918, the first
raid in force by the Northern
Bombing Group in World War
I was by Marine Day Squad
ron 9. Excerpts from that dav’s
log follow: “Dropped. . .13 - ’SO

When the Armistice was
signed on 11 November, the
Navy’s aviation personnel for
ces had expanded to 6,716 of
ficers and 30.693 men. Equip
ment had increased to 2,017
aircraft and 230 dirigibles and
balloons. Eighteen months of
war had bosted aviation de
velopment into high gear.

Can’t. Don’t be careless at the

When your eyes become fix

If a light on your car should
