Graceful co-ordination rivaling the flight of a sea-gull is demonstrated by this light plane as it skims in for a perfect landing on the snow-blanketed field at the Ann Arbor city airport. The plane is one of several that have been equipped with ski landing-gear to familiarize flight students with special problems of winter flying. Ice-bound rivers and lakes furnish hundreds of new landing-fields during the long Michigan winter - but use of temporary facilities provided by the Weather Man requires a special technique on the part of the pilot. The plane is being flown by Everett Esch, former Willow Run test pilot and now the head of a local flying school.

The thawing weather in the last two days prompted numerous youngsters - and oldsters, too - to build snowmen in Ann Arbor. Above is shown a "wolf at the door" of the home of Prof. Avard Fairbanks, sculptor, which he made to entertain his children. Standing beside the snow wolf are two of the children of Prof. and Mrs. Fairbanks, Grant (left), who is two years old, and David (right), who is three. Prof. Fairbanks received some help in making the wolf from his children.
