Hoover Dam - aviation: “Planes of a sheriff’s aero squadron flying patrol over Lake Mead and Boulder Hoover Dam. Formed last March by Deputy Sheriff John V. Lytle of Las Vegas, Nev., the squadron patrols more than 8,000 square miles in the Southwest, over some of the most desolate territory in the country. It's planes have gone in search of rustlers, people who have become lost in the desert, hitchhikers who have help up motorists, planes which have been forced down far from food, water, and shelter."
