...Philippine employees. The line's 400-odd pilots are nearly all recruited from the U.S. military services, draw an average $18,000 in base pay, plus bonuses for hazardous flying conditions, which can raise the annual total to $25,000 or more.

The 1,000-watt beacons, visible five miles in daylight and twelve at night, light up either manually or automatically to signal break-ins or holdups. Within 21 minutes at most, the sheriff's men expect to swoop down on the scene, spot suspects with...
