PIERCY TO BUILD
NEAR CITY L
Construction of a new 70
acre airport on Highway 99, one
mile north of Medford, will be
gin in the next few days, it has
been announced.
Ernest Piercy, veteran pilot
and former RAF Instructor, has
purchased the acreage, a por
tion of the Skelton property.
and is completing plans to build
a modern all-purpose airfield to
serve flying enthusiasts of the
valley.
The new civilian air-center,
already approved and designat
ed by the Civil Aeronautics
Authority as "Piercy's Field
will offer two runways, each
over a half mile long, refueling
and hanger facilities and a com
pletely equipped aircraft and
engine repair depot.
Piercy, who will supervise
flight instruction, rental of air
craft and sales of poplar makes
of private planes, has spent the
past eight months In a survey
of the valley area seeking an
airport site so located as to be
accessible to the greatest num
ber of vallev residents. The
location on Highwav 99, accord
ing to Piercy, fulfills these re-
c-ilrements in addition to being
situated in such a manner that
It will be easily located by pri
vate plane tourists.
Piercy served during the war
as a civilian instructor in the
advanced flying school of the
RAF in Arizona and is a rated
CAA flight instructor and flight
examiner.
Frank Rogers, city superin
tendent, said the new field will
In no way affect the city's tem
porary landing strip at the Fair
grounds nor will it affect the
city airport on Midway road
when It is returned to the city
by the army.

NAVY DEVELOPS
3N
-Philadelphia OJ.R) -The Navy
has revealed that three new
weapons were developed and
manufactured at the Naval air
craft modification unit, Johns
villa, Pa to rival Germany's
buzz-bombs and Japan's kami
kaze planes.
The weapons, known as gor
gon, gargoyle and glomb, were
pilot-less aircraft, capable ' of
speeds of more than 500 miles
an hour under a radio control.
They were built and tested in
the past two years.
The gorgon, designed to car
ry 100 pounds of explosives in
its nose, is a Jet-propelled mis
sile which can be directed to
its target by radio control, or
by its own automatic target
seeking device after release
from a mother plane.
The gargoyle, also Jet-propel-led,
carries a 1,000-pound
armor-piercing bomb, control
led visually by radio when re
leased from the fuselage of a
fighter plane. It can attain a
top speed of 700 miles an hour
in a dive on the target.
The glomb. or glider bomb,
can carry 4,000 pounds .of ex
plosives. It Is towed by a fighter
plane or patrol bomber and
automatically released from the
tow-plane by radio-control. The
bomb has a television transmit
ter in Its nose which permits
the flier to guide it to a target
when the pilot Is not on the line
of sight.
