(Special Correspondent) Condi tions of actual warfare will be simulated when the 250 naval planes, representing the three wings of the.servlcf, the. fighters, the: ioV3erverisn'dtbombira. form up over the fleet for the opening of the combined air and naval maneuvers In Central American waters late this month. More than 200 planes concen trated on the Pacific coast, man ned by the pick of ""the navy, sailed from Los Angeles and San Diego harbors aboard " the three airplane carriers. Saratoga, Lex ington and Langley, and the ahips of the battle fleet to unite with the squadrons of the AtUntic scouting fleet off Panama. To gether the air squadrons of the PPacirtc and Atlantic will repre sent' the most powerful aerial striking force in the world. Three Wings Famous The clamour of combat rides with . the fighters and tor that reason the fighting wing to the best known In and out of 'the service, particularly nluce the per' formance 'at the famous ''Three Sea Hawks" at San Diego and at the Natloaat Air races ;t Mines Field last summer, but; It cannot dim the brilliant record of -either the observation wing or the torpedo-bombing wing.- v' The plane3 of the fighting wing of neceasltv must possess the maxtmam -of maneuverability and speed. At present - Ihe Boeing slngle-peater, powered with Pratt and Whitney- engines are beinr used. One of the now ' Boeing midget ships in a test at Mines Field during the air races climbed from- the ground to a height of 10.000 feet and back again In less than five- minutes. Of the - six squadrons of fighters,' Squadron One and Two base normally on the U. S. 8. Langley; Four and Six on the U. S. S. Saratoga and Three and Five on the U. S. S. Lexington. In preparation for this cruise each squadron carried out a pre arranged program of gunnery ex ercises. This Included different tty,drabllttr m off.

"ene my" . planes, , protecting oheerva- tiotv and boifiblpg planes and .t- tacklng enemy surface craft. The observation wing consists of three squadrons of Vought Corsair two-seater biplanes which are located with the three battle ship divisions. Each squadron Is composed of twelve planes whose primary ' purpose is to asalst the battleships in gunfire control. To accomplish this they fly out to a point where they can observe the fall of the shots and then radio back the result to the ships. They are equipped with pontoons which enable them to l,ndon the water, and are launched into the air from the decks of the bat tleships by .means of catapults In a manner simllsr to tffat followed hy the fighting wing, the observation pilots carry on regu lar competitive programs of ttced and free machine gun fire, bomb ing and combat-work.
