Army’s actual regulations for aircraft operation - from 1920!

1. Don't take the machine into the air unless you are satisfied it will fly.

2. Never leave the ground with the motor leaking.

3. Don't turn sharply when taxiing. Instead of turning sharp, have someone lift the tail around.

4. Pilots should carry hankies in a handy place to wipe off goggles.

5. Riding on the steps, wings, or rail of the machine is prohibited.

6. In case the engine fails on takeoff, land straight ahead regardless of obstacles.

7. No machine must taxi faster than a man can walk.

8. Learn to gauge altitude, especially on landing.

9. If you see another machine near you, get out of the way.
10. Do not trust altitude instruments.

11. Hedge-hopping will not be tolerated.

12. Don't attempt to force the machine onto the ground with more than flying speed. The result is bouncing.

13. Pilots will not wear spurs while flying.

14. Do not use aeronautical gasoline in cars or motorcycles.
