"The history of the use of the air plane in connection with forest fire patrol is very brief, but, regardless of that fact, is very decisive." Because of tMe interest taken by Governor Olcott in the airplane forest fire patrol, hardly a week passes but he receives a request for a. story dealing with this subject.
