Wallace, James Willard
Wallace hasn't moved from Clovis and probably won't for the last two weeks of training, which is "getting tougher every day." Two men were killed and one injured the day before in "crack-ups." Of eight men in his class, three failed. They land on the wheels only in a very difficult maneuver. If it is done wrong the plane might pivot over the nose, landing upside down, as happened to five planes the day before.
