Probably the first ship of its kind ever to land here, a U. S. Army bomber stopped briefly at the Ann Arbor airport yesterday, on a routine flight from Wright field, Dayton, O., to Selfridge field at Mt. Clemens. Commanded by Lt. M. E. Bradley, the plane also carried as its crew Lt. D. F. Callahan, who was a postgraduate student at the University this year, and Major Philip Schneeberger, as observer. The ship has a 90-foot wing spread and is equipped to carry a ton of bombs. It was originally a Douglas transport, converted for army use.

CONTROL AGENTS AT WORK IN 'OPERATIONS': Shown above are the men who compute how many passengers will ride the plane, how much mail, express and freight will be carried, when the aircraft will take off and estimated arrival time of flights. Literally a nerve center of the terminal, the controlling of flights carried on in the room pictured above was formerly handled in seven separate offices by seven separate airlines at Willow Run. The adding machines on the desks are a few of dozens in use at the airport for totalling the weights of passengers, mail and other cargo.
