McCRORY WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY
Two McCrory Boys Volunteer
For The Air Service And
Get Free Ride to
Eberts Field
Wednesday of this week,
Aeroplane number 2449 of
Eberts Field at Lonoke, piloted
by Lieut. J. H/ Johnson of the
U. s. Air Service, arrived in
McCrory and landed in a field
just north of town. No one
Vnew that the plane was com
ing and did not know his mis
sion until he was seen flying
over town. Then the news
spread that Lester Lewis, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Lew
is of this city, would return
to Lonoke with him and join
the air ervice.
Lieut. Johnson stayed here
about two hours and everyone
had an opportunity to look at
the plane at a close view.. He
stated that he made the trip
from Lonoke o McCrory in 24
minutes.
When he was ready to be
gin his flight home, Lester
climbed in with him aparrent
lv as unconcerned as he would
have gotten in an automobile
for a joy ride and they” left
amid the cheers of the many
people who had gathered to
see the plane.
It seemed like the young
men of this city are testing
their nerve, for on the follow
ing day Lieut. Johnson return
ed and this time Nubert Porter
went back with him.
An article came out in the
Arkansas Gazette Tuesday
stating that anyone who wish
ed to join the ai service could
have a free ride from his home
to the place of enlistment. So
far, only two McCrory boys
have taken advantage of this
opportunity to get a ride above
the clouds, but it is rumored
that several more are contem
plating taking the trip.
When both boys had landed
at Lonoke they telephoned
back that they had a wonder
ed trip and enjoyed the spin
above the clouds.
