	Crop Dusters
		The piloting skills required for crop dusting were usually passed along in informal flight sessions, treated as more of an art form than the sophisticated science that it was.
		Crop dusters were always clipping their tails on standpipes (tall, tower-like structures used to store water in rural communities), hitting fence posts or pulling up without seeing a string of electric or telephone wires—unseen dangers that often meant injury or death to the pilot.
		The early days of crop dusting were often hazardous for the pilot because lightweight airplanes with weak frames were modified for use as crop-dusters—this situation changed for the better immediately after the war, when sturdily built surplus aircraft with improved pilot visibility were soon transformed into crop dusters.
