Many of thé trade apprentices be- come highly skilled workmen, in positions of authority and great trust. Others, perhaps those with greater drive or greater talent, rise to a standard where they can be accepted as engineering apprentices and, there- by, take the complete training of an aeronautical engineer, with the ap- propriate qualification of one of the engineering institutions, So it is that the boy from a poor home, or from a home which does not engender the idea of ambition, can be set on the path that leads to the highest positions in aviation. EMPLOYMENT The avenues of aviation work are so numerous that we could not possibly deal with them all here. Suffice it to say that, once quali- fied, the youth who takes up aviation as a career has endless opportunities FIFTY-TWwOo at home and abroad. There is an almost limitless num- ber of departments from which he can choose his speciality—civil aircraft, military machines, guided missiles, and each one of these has its sub-branches of design, performance, electronics, stress, aero- dynamics, construction, metallurgy and so on. The youth who takes up aviation does not have to look around after quali- fying to find somewhere to work. His problem is to decide what not to do! And this is, after all, an industry of the future. There can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the next few years will see a tremendous expansion * in the aircraft business—not only be- cause of the paramount military im- portance of aircraft, but because of the rapidly increasing amcunt of civil air transport that is being required. New air routes are opening up all the time, and aircraft are needed to cover- them. The steep competit’on between airlines for more and more passengers and freighters keeps up a constant demand on the manufacturers for bigger and better airplanes. commiclbooks.com | | }
