 ARLENE DAVIS
1899-1964
Among the many thousands associated with aviation
today only a fewv, know that the growth of our acro-
space industry to its present dominant position as the
greatest air power in the world, was due chiefly to
the untiring effort and indefatigable determination of
a loyal cadre which led aviation's struggle for survival
to ultimate victory.
History records the names of great Americans who
led the fight: the Wrights, Curtiss, Bcllanca, Sikorsky
and Piper; Victory, Mac Cracker, Lindbergh, Doo-
little and Post, to name but a few. Among them were
women: Law, Stinson, Farhart, Oinlic, Nichols, Coch-
ran-and Arlene Davis.
A pilot for 35 years, Arlene held single and multi
engine ratings and an instrument ticket. Early in her
career she participated in many air races and aviation
competitions. Later she dedicated her enthusiasm and
dynamic energy to assisting the feeble aviation indus-
try in the dark years of the '30s, giving generously
of her time, knowledge and money to many aviation
organizations, among them the 'National Aeronautics
Association which she served as an officer or a director
for the remainder of her life.
Intensely interested in aviation education, Arlene
was one of the strongest protagonists of the National
Aerospace Education Council, assisting in its original
organization and serving on the NAFC Board of
Directors. In 1960 Arlene flew her Recch 'T'ravel Air
across the Atlantic by the northern route, toured Eu-
rope in the airplane, then flew home via Dakar and
South America.
The bright flame of vibrant life burned high and
clear in Arlene's small, fragile body. When the cancer
appeared she fought it fiercer. with her strong will
and unconquerable spirit. She was still fighting when
she returned to the hospital for the last time in June.
She refused to grant that the flame was dimming, and
her courage held an impregnable barrier against the
increasing pain. iA'lercifulh,, in the gray dawn of
July 5, 1964 the tiny- flame expired and Arlene Davis'
life had ended.
Although the many significant contributions Arlene
Davis made to the progress of aviation will always he
monuments to her memory, her friends need no re-
minder. To them Arlene was and will always be
America's first Lady of Aviation. ^

HIGH HONOR TO MARILYN LINK
Aviation Education Leader Receives Brewer Trophy
Miss Marilyn Link received the coveted Frank C.
Brewer Trophy at the concluding banquet of the 1964
National Aerospace Conference at the Mayflower Ho-
tel in Washington, June 27. The Conference elected
as its president for the next year Dr. Leslie Bryan,
Director of the Institute of Aviation at the University
of Illinois. Dr. Bryan also served as NAEC's president
in 1952. Retiring president William C. I linkley pre-
sided at the banquet attended by many leaders in civil,
military and federal aviation fields.
The Trophy was established in 1943 by the late
Frank G. Brewer of Birmingham, Alabama in honor
of his two sons and the young men who flew in World
War II. Miss Link, the twenty-first recipient of the
Trophy, was chosen from a field of nine nominees by
a committee of 21 prominent aviation and education
leaders headed by Joseph T. Gcuting, Jr., of Aero-
space Industries Association. The Brewer Trophy is
an annual award and the winner is selected from a
slate of nominees who have made "the most out-
standing contribution to the development of Air
Youth in the field of education and training."
Miss Link has been a teacher, a lecturer in aero-
space education and a director of aerospace education
workshops, in her early work which was done in New
Jersey and Nebraska.
In 1953 she was made Executive Secretary of the
Link Foundation and was assigned as Special Assistant
to the Director of the National Air Museum in the
Smithsonian Institution.
During a short period of time since then Miss Link
was Special Assistant to the President of the General
Precision Equipment Corporation, but in more recent
years has extended her educational service as Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the Link Foundation and in com-
mittee and other assignments with such organizations
as the University Aviation Association, the National
Aerospace Education Council, the National Pilots As-
sociation and the Aviation/Space Writers Association.
Miss Link is now the Special Assistant, Public Re-
lations for Mohawk Airlines as well as being the Ex-
ecutive Secretary of The Link Foundation.
She has written widely for youth and for teachers
in the fields of aerospace education. One of her most
outstanding publications is, undoubtedly, Masters of
the Air, which was published and distributed by the
Smithsonian Institution. This boot: was prepared by
Miss Link for the many high school youths who visit
the Air Museum.
At the present time she is working with 18 colleges
and universities throughout the United States which
are carrying out educational research programs in the
field of aerospace, with the financing of these pro-
grams being paid in part or in toto by the Link Foun-
dation.
Miss Link is one of the founding members of the
National Aerospace Education Council, has been al-
most continuously on its Board, and at the present
time is on the Board of that Council. ^

\sk :Antos[ anyone interested in aviation v, at rela-
?ionsltip the aviation program at the University of
Illinois bears to the 'National Aeronautic Asv)ciation
,nd you would draw a blank. The fact is, Ii )yever,
(tat the original broad concept was conceived hy the
lien President of the L.'niversity, Dr. A. C. Willard,
while attending one of the early NAA ( Iinics at
?)klaholua (;itv- where he had been invited to Hake a

Trustees, received their backing, and went ro work.

mcnts are the main vertical shafts of the educational
inure and the Institute of Aviation is a horizontal chan-
nel connecting them. In its operation the Institute
carries on the same general functions as the Univer-
sity as a whole-educational, research, and public-
servicc activities. Most of these are carried on at the
University of Illinois-Willard Airport which is op-
erated for the University by the Institute of. Aviation.
Educational Functions
The University of Illinois-Willard Airport is, in its
major use, essentially an off-campus educational labo-
ratory. As such it is closely analogous to the science
laboratories on the campus. In the case of flight
courses, for instance, the class work is given on the
campus and the student then goes to the Airport for
the flight-laboratory instruction. Other laboratory
work done at the Airport includes the activities of the
State Water Survey in meteorologic research and of
the aviation psychology laboratory. The Airport also
functions as a laboratory for the College of Com-
inerce and Business Administration and the College
of Engineering.
At the Airport, the Institute of Aviation offers four
courses of study: (1) the Aircraft Maintenance Cur-
riculuin, (2) the Professional Pilot Curriculum, (3) the
Aviation Electronics Curriculum, and (4) general
flight training courses. About half of the flight students
are other than students who are primarily enrolled in
the Institute. In addition, the Institute offers (light
training to selected Army and Air Force ROTC stu-
dents.
The Aircraft Maintenance Curriculum prepares the
student to become a technician who can perform or
supervise the maintenance of aircraft and engines. It
also gives him a fundamental background of knowl-
edge for sales, service, operations, flight engineering,
and management in the aviation industry. This two-
year curriculum has Federal Aviation Agency (FAA)
approval under Air Agency Certificate No. 3364. Class-
work is performed in well-e(luippcd shops and labo-
ratories at the Airport. Approximately 25 per cent of
the graduates of this curriculum enroll in other col-
leges of the University and successfully complete
the requirements for a bachelor's degree. The Institute
cannot begin to supply the demand for the graduates
of this curriculum.
The Professional Pilot Curriculum consists of 12 to
24 credit hours in the Institute, depending upon the
number of flight courses taken, and also of integrated
courses in several basic areas of knowledge in the Di-
vision of General Studies. Upon completion of this
two-year course the student receives a certificate
awarded by the University, plus the pilot certificates
and ratings awarded by the FAA.
The Aviation Electronics Curriculum seeks to train
a technician who has a thorough knowledge of both
the theoretical and applied aspects of basic and ad-
vanced electronics. He is prepared to interpret and
implement the engineer's plans which are involved in
the construction and testing of complex electronic
devices found throughout the aerospace industry. This
is also a two-year program.
General flight training is open to all students and
staff members of the University. During the past year,
more than 300 FAA certificates and ratings were earned
by the flight students. Since the start of the flight-train-
ing program in 1946, nearly 6,000 students, including
approximately 300 faculty, have been trained.
As Air Examining Agency No. I, the Institute
certificates private and commercial pilots and rates
multi-engine and instrument pilots by its own exami-
nations and tests. In addition, helicopter and instructor
rating courses are given.
The Institute, through its Staff Air Transportation
Service (SATS), renders valuable assistance to many
thousands of extension students throughout the state.
Where it is difficult to bring the student to the campus,
it is often easier to take the professor to the student.
This the SATS does as well as providing an airplane
pool for those traveling on other University- busi-
ness. Were it not for the saving in time by flight to
and from the extension centers, many excellently
qualified staff members would be unable to fulfill the
extension teaching assignments they now routinely
complete in locations from Rockford to East St. Louis.

Research Functions
I lie Institute ( f Aviation has an outstanding) rec-
+Wd in the area of research. From experiments with
easily visible iluore--scent paint on N1 ingtips to experi-
ments wftli flight by periscope, a forerunner of our
astronautic flights, the University has becotre inter-
nationally famous for its aeronautical research, much
of 'a Inch is done at the Airport.
One outsrmdiny research contribution vya, the inn-
portant "IHOI)egree turn Experiment." -the pro-
ecdures, which v,cre developed by Institute of kvia-
iion staff members, enable noninstrument pilots who
have inadvertently gotten into bad --,weather to make a
!80-degree Turn out of the bad weather and return
safel,r to contact digiht conditions. Alany letters
have been received fronn pilots throughout the United
',states who are alive today because they practiced the
inlple lifesaving procedures.
"Parachute Flares as an Aid in Nliilit Forced I,and-
ings" Was widely acclaimed as an additional lifesaving
procedure for general aviation pilots. Amain, the
tnerhods were developed by the University's aviation
'rail members.
Mauch of the aeronautical research of the Uniyer-
,itv, instead of being- done by the Institute itself, is
,-hanneled into other departments which have the
,tafl, the facilities, and a closely related interest in the
prohleln. For instance, the Institute of Aviation has
assisted the College of Agriculture in planning crop
dusting demonstrations. Facilities and space have been
provided for the Department of :'aeronautical and
Astronautical F.ngincering for their research on jet
engines. the Psychology Department has utilizer] not
oily the Institute's aircraft and pilots, but also its
rodents in many of it,, research efforts. the Institute
Also provides space at the Airport to the Psarholorgy
,taff and students for their use as offices and lobo-
f'atories in research in aviation psychology.
I he Institute's aircraft have played a major role in
living radio-active isotopes from Oak Ridge, I en-
nessee, to the L.fniversitv's fanned Betatron Laboratory.
1Iuch equipment and personnel have been tlovt n to
t ;rear Bear Lake in Canada for ennpluvment at a
racking- station .which is maintained by the federal
government but supervised by university scientists.
The Institute of Aviation aircraft maintenance shops are always busy.
Aircraft are maintained on a "p'sventive maintenance" basis. All have
radios and many are fully equir ped for VFR flying. A machine shop,
instrument shoo. and propeller sF Dp are also a part of the facilities.

Extensive research on cloud formations and rainfall
is presently being conducted by members of the State
Water Survey at the Airport. Not only does the In-
stitute of Aviation provide the necessary laboratory
facilities, but it has also specially equipped a twin-
engine Beechcraft for a flying laboratory. Because the
meteorologic staff has been able to carry on its re-
search in such a unique wvay, the research results have
been highly gratifying.
The Institute has also worked closely with the Col-
lege of Medicine in the areas of pressurization and
high-altitude effects on the human body. The College
of Education has planned and scheduled numerous
seminars and courses in aviation education. The Insti-
tute has aided by offering orientation flights to the
students.
The College of Commerce and Business Adminis-
tration has made use of the Airport facilities and
equipment as a laboratory for the students enrolled
in the courses of air transportation and airline manage-
ment. The additional opportunities made available to
these commerce students tend to increase their pro-
fessional knowledge and practical experience even be-
fore they are graduated from the University.
In all, more than forty different divisions of the
University have benefited from the research availa-
bility of the Airport.
Public Service Functions
The Institute and cooperating staffs have, in addi-
tion to their primary research and educational func-
tions, made available to the community certain of the
facilities of the Airport without charge either to the
taxpayers or the state or to the surrounding com-
munity. These facilities are available on the basis of
the otherwise unused capacity of the runways and of
the terminal building. The income thus received from
Ozark Air Lines has been sufficient, when added to
the legitimate charges against the University-use-for-
education-and-research purposes, to cover the op-
erating costs of the Airport.
For the citizens of Champaign-Urbana, and for those
individuals who come from all over the United States
to visit the University of Illinois, the Airport pro-
vides necessary facilities for commercial flights. Ozark
Air Lines provides 13 flights each day in and out of
the Airport. Over 2,500 passengers a month embark
at the University Airport.
For the calendar year 1963, of 255 similar facilities
the FAA ranked the University Airport as the 73rd
busiest in the nation in total aircraft operations, and
as the most active air operation in downstate Illinois.
For many years, the Airport has been used by the
Illinois Wing of the Civil Air Patrol as its primary
base for its annual Search and Rescue training. It is
also used as an auxiliary field for the Air National
Guard and the flying branch of the State National
Guard.
People from all over the world have come to the
University of Illinois to discuss the University's air

operation with Institute staff members and have taken
back with them ideas and plans to improve their
countries' aviation systems. The three most recent
distinguished visitors have been Prince Sissouphan-
nouvong, Director of Civil Aviation for the Kingdom
of Laos, Mr. Isaac Sy, Director of Civil Aviation for
the Republic of Mali, and ,'Vlr. Oscar Denis of the
Republic of Argentina.
One of the major public service aspects of the Uni-
versity Airport is the impetus given to business and
pleasure flying. At present the Airport has 32 T-
hangars and one large hanger which are rented to
local businessmen.
Over the years, the Institute and its staff have co-
operated with the National Aerospace Education
Council which has received so much aid from NAA.
I lad NAA done nothing else during its period of co-
operation, its influence through N Ah.C on the teachers
of the youth of this country has been beyond measure.
Vested Responsibility
The University of Illinois, through its Institute of
Aviation and its cooperation with other divisions of
the University, has tried to live up to the responsi-
bilities which it believes it has in the four fields of
general education, professional education, vocational
education, and research. In general education, its re-
sponsibility lies in the enrichment of liberal arts
courses, the development of a general course on the
broad impact of aviation upon society, and the en-
ricluncnt of guidance procedures. In professional edu-
cation, the University has offered courses in engineer-
ing, business administration, and teacher training with
emphasis upon aviation. In the vocational field the Uni-
versity has provided terminal courses in aircraft main-
tenance, electronics, and flight training. In research
and public service, every effort has been made to serve
and advance the frontiers of knowledge. ^

The start of a record flight. Jacqueline Cochran takes the Lockheed
F-104G Super Starfighter off the line at Edwards Air Force Base.
/acs/uelirce Cochrau's Record Flights
HIGH HOT AND HAZARDOUS
By Robert H. Dillaway
On June 3, 196-+, Jacqueline Cochran, holder of more
.vorl(l flying records than any other pilot, completed
a series of (lights in a Lockheed F-1046, v~ hick set
three new world records-the fastest speed by a
svotnan over 12%25 kin, and 500 kin courses Aliss
Cochran already held the 15 2> and 500 kin records;

Capturing the record after it had been taken front her
by the outstanding French woman competitor, Jac-
queline Auriol, flvin(-r a Mirage III French fzshter
plane.
F'stablishing world records at the high speeds and
tititudes required for ma%itnuru performance today
t-equires a great deal of planning and co-ordination
by the pilot and the supporting teams of specialists.
One does not merely decide to try for a record, hop
in the plane and dash over a course crudely marked
+,ur on the ground. In establishing- her records, Miss
Cochran was supported by the well-intetgrated, co-
oycrative effort of several groups.
A team of six Lockheed engineers seorke t on 0mans
flitht plans, to find the one that provided the greatest
performance potential of the airplane over each type
of course. Chet- worked on radio systems to assure
