Up Since April 1
London, May 16.
A total of 1,149 recruits joined the Royal Air Force last week, as compared with 404 in the corresponding week last year. This is a record entry, and for the third week in succession, the numbers entered have exceeded the 1,000 mark.
It brings the total entry of pilots, observers, airmen, and boys since April 1 up to 5,065, as compared with 1,965 for the corresponding period last year.—Wireless through Reuter.
