Bangkok, June 4.

Three Japanese gliders of various types were expected to arrive here on June 20 from Kobe, and after a series of demonstrations by Japanese pilots, they will be presented to the Thai Air Force's training school.

The gliders were being brought here by the "Asahi Shimbun" of Tokyo. Reliable sources said that ®mong the Japanese experts who would arrive here were the two pilots who participated in the "Asahi Shimbun's" good-will flight from Tokyo to Bangkok in 19372.—Unifed Press.
