AN RAAF PILOT TRAINEE LEADS A FULL LIFE. LEADING AIRCRAFTMAN (LAC) GORDON KEVIN JOHNSON, WHO WORKED IN THE CHIEF SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT OF THE WEST AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT BEFORE HE ENLISTED IN THE RAAF, IS NOW A PILOT TRAINEE IN VICTORIA. HE IS TYPICAL OF THE PHYSICALLY PERFECT AND HIGHLY TRAINED YOUNG AIRMEN WHOM AUSTRALIA IS SENDING OVERSEAS IN LARGE AND FREQUENT CONTINGENTS. LIKE MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHER TRAINEES HE IS EAGER TO GRADUATE AND TAKE HIS PLACE AT THE CONTROLS OF A FIGHTER OR BOMBER IN ACTION AGAINST THE ENEMY. LAC JOHNSON WILL HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN HIS 'CHUTE, SHOULD HE EVER HAVE TO USE IT. HE SEES HOW IT IS FOLDED WITH THE GREATEST CARE ON A LONG, SMOOTH SURFACED TABLE.
