Thomas B. Maxwell, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Maxwell, 43 Second Street, Glens Falls, N. Y., was graduated this week from a course in airplane propellers conducted by the Army Air Forces Technical Training Command at the Curtiss-Wright Corporation here. Maxwell, who graduated from an airplane mechanics school in the AAP Technical Training Command before taking advanced work here, was promoted to corporal in recognition, of his aptitude for specialized work. Only men who receive grades well above average in general alertness and mechanical aptitude tests qualify for technical training. If he proved physically qualified, Corporal Maxwell may soon receive training as an aerial gunner. Now a skilled propeller specialist, he will, after gunnery training, be doubly valuable as a member of the combat crew of an Army Air Forces unit. A graduate of Glens Falls High School, Maxwell was a milkman prior to his induction into the Army, Feb. 12, 1942. A brother, Pfc. Fred T. is also serving in the Army somewhere in North Africa.
