EMPIRE AIR SCHEME

REPORTED AMERICAN CO-OPERATION. WINTER TRAINING IN TEXAS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. November 11. Arrangements for the transfer from Canada to the United States for the winter of a proportion of the men undergoing training under the Empire Air Scheme have been completed, according to advice brought from the United States by one of the travellers on the Pan-American Airways American Clipper. It was stated that this new development represented Ihe latest aid given by the United States to Britain's war effort.

Though no official announcement had been made, it was stated that some men, possibly including New Zealanders, under training would transfer from Canada to air stations in Texas, so that their training would not be interrupted by the heavy snow of the Canadian winter. Texas was stated to be an ideal district for the purpose, as in normal circumstances it was possible to continue flying training throughout the winter. Other advantages likely to result from the transfer would be easier and more rapid delivery of (raining aircraft from American factories. Il was reported that the arrangements for some of the men to go to Texas had been completed after discussions so that there would be no interruption in the stream of fully-trained air crows which Britain would require to man her growing number of aircraft.
