Sooners on the Wing the Oklahoma Daily, Student Newspaper University students like Rhoda Spruce, shown here with L. E. Peaster, flight instructor, are training for aviation service through the pro- gram of the Civilian Pilot Training Corps. At the bottom of the page are a group of former Sooner students who graduated last month from the army's advanced air training school at Kelly Field, Texas. Left to right, Rob- ert D.

Schofzeld, Jr. in the two years since her graduation from the University has achieved a po- sition seldom reached by women pilots. After completing her training at Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, Miss Stevenson went to Casper, Wyoming, where she is now an instructor with the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Only 23 years old, the young pilot's present occupation is almost contradictory to her college education and professional training. First she attended Lindenwood School for Girls, an experience which in itself would be expected to turn her at- tention toward almost anything but gov- ernment aviation. Later, at the Univer- sity, she majored in journalism and worked in the advertising department of Sooners on the Wing the Oklahoma Daily, student newspaper. Throughout her college work, however, By PEGGY CLAY she managed to gain many hours of oc- casional flying instruction and now is an to the Fighting Front, instructor for both light and heavy planes, From Research Laboratories and has ground school ratings in naviga- 0.

  • Lockheed Aircraft Since 1913
    i FOREWORD The post-WWI boom in the U n i t e d S t a t e s p r o d u c e d the Roaring Twenties, jazz, prohibition, and art deco design. Babe Ruth was regularly hitting home runs, and the movie industry was experimenting with talkies. And then Lindbergh’s sensational solo flight across the Atlantic sparked an explosion of a v i a t i o n d e v e l o p m e n t s . Lockheed’s Vega led the way. The Vega’s design and power encouraged people in the slambang days of the early ‘30s to seek the thrills and romance that lay beyond the horizon. Her feats and record-breaking accomplishments kept the Lockheed name ablaze in headlines, and the Vega earned respect and admiration from people in all walks of life. With a long, smooth fuselage and curvaceous strut-free wing, the Lockheed Vega burst onto the scene where box-kite biplanes and brutish tri-motors performed. A glamour-girl, she stole the spotlight and the Lockheed Vega became a name symbolic of the utmost in speed to airman and schoolboy alike. The name Lockheed flashed back and forth across the continent and over the top of the world. The slogan “Look for Lockheed for Leadership” rang true, but was soon replaced when ’'It takes a Lockheed to beat a Lockheed” became an accepted fact. ii CHAPTER∏ 1 A LONG CLIMB TO SUCCESS Soon after the Wright Brothers flight in 1903 a remarkable single mother, Flora Loughead, moved her two young sons, Allan and Malcolm, from San Francisco to a small fruit farm north of Oakland, California.
