To the untrained, it would seem like, flying one jet or another would -be comparable to driving any make of car, but, as one pilot explained changing from the F-84 to the F-86 is like "driving a Cadillac after being behind the wheel of a truck." After the wing returns to Selfridge Field, their home base, this weekend, the men will continue training in the new plane. Besides the two weeks of training, members of the wing are required to serve one week- end a month in training at Self- ridge. The men come from as far as Flint and Grand Rapids to fulfill these requirements. Training for Conversion to Supersonic Jets By FRANK SIMONS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The only thing hotter than the weather down in this Southern metropo- lis is a group of "jet jockeys" who constitute Michigan's 439th Fighter Bomber Wing, a reserve Air Force outfit more popularly known as the Wolv-Air-Ines. . The 439th is at the Municipal .Airport here to convert from the F-84 jet fighter to the super- sonic F-86H Sabrejet. The tran- sition is designed to give Michi- gan adequate air protection in the event of enemy _attack. Typical of the jet pilots in the 439th is Maj. Kal Gladstone, of 21601 Sussex, Oak Park; who has been flying for the Air Force since World War II days. Maj. Gladstone compiled quite a record for himself while flying P-47's with the U.S. Eighth Army out of Eng- land in the war. He holds five Air Medals, countless battle stars and a Disting- uished Unit Citation to men- tion only a few. But, Gladstone, like all of the other men down here, are too busy working on the new F-86 to reminisce much about the past. While here on two weeks of training duty, which began Aug. 4, each pilot is expected to complete two and a half days of ground school learning the pOtential of the Sabrejet. After this he checks out and has two rides with an instructor following in a chase plane. From here on, the pilot is on his own, but he must compile 15 air hours of solo flight be- fore he is through. There is not much room for error in the transition period, since all of the Sabrejets are single-seaters. Yet, the 439th is working to receive its fourth Air Force Flying Safety Award, presented to wings with no- accident records. The Wolv-Air-Ines, under the command of Col. James H. Mc- Partlin, of Birmingham, earned their last safety award for fly- U. S. Extends Insurance on American Israeli. Investmens (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish New's) JERUSALEM—An agreement extending United States Gov : ernment insurance for American investments in Israel to include protection against war damages was signed here Tuesday by Israeli Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda M_eir and William 'Baxter, United States Charge d'Affaires. The new agreement is an expansion of a 1952 pact by which the U. S. Government insured such investments against nation- alization, expropriation and freezing of dollar earnings. The insurance is provided through the International Coopera- tion Administration's foreign investment guarantee program.
