The sfory of fhe rapid growfh of our nafion's milifary aviafion, from an unimporfanf subdivision of fhe Signal Corps before fhe firsf World War, fhrough fhe period when if was a corps of ifs own, fhe Air Corps, and now fo a degree of fremendous imporfance as fhe Army Air Forces, co-equal in prominence wifh all fhe ofher Army combaf arms combined, is a sfirring saga of courage and inspirafion, of indomifable will and far-sighfed genius, all wifhin fhe shorf space of 33 years. The ufilizafion of aviafion by fhe Army, however, anfedafes I909, fhe official birfh year. Civilian aeronaufs made observafions from cap- five balloons for fhe Army of fhe Pofomac during fhe American Civil War, and Iafer fhe Army purchased a balloon in France which was used in Cuba during fhe Spanish-American War. lf was nof, however, unfil fhe experimenfs of Langley, Maxim, Lillien- fhal, Bleriof, fhe Wrighfs and ofhers had 'Focused affenfion on fhe possibilifies of heavier-fhan-air machines fhaf fhe Army considered seri- ously fhis newesf milifary adiuncf. If was nof unfil fhe Wrighfs had demonsfrafed fhaf a heavier-fhan-air machine was nof only feasible, buf pracfical fhaf fhe Army adverfised for bids for fhe consfrucfion of an airplane. An aeronaufical division of fhe Army was creafed in fhe Office of fhe Chief Signal Officer of fhe Army on July I, I907. The Wrighf brofhers produced an airplane which was delivered fo Forf Myer, Virginia, on Augusf 28, I908.

The laferal confrols were affecfed by warping fhe wings. The double elevafor and fhe rudder were supporfed in fronf of fhe wings by an oufrigger. The landing gear consisfed of fwo runners, or skids, and fhe plane was launched from a monorail. Affer a series of disappoinfing accidenfs and many fesfs, fhe Board of Officers appoinfed fo examine fhe plane made a favorable recommendafion on Augusf 2, I909, and fhe Chief Signal Officer approved fhe recommendafion fhe same day. This dafe is considered fhe birfhday of fhe Army Air Forces. While fhus inaugurafing fhe air arm of fhe service on fhis dafe. fhe value of aircraff in a milifary way was nof immediafely apparenf, parficularly fo a nafion af peace, and if was nof unfil March, I9II, almosf fwo years Iafer, fhef Congress for fhe firsf fime specifically appropriafed money for aviafion. . .fo fhe fune of SI25,000, By Sepfember, I9I3, Army aviafion had grown slowly unfil if had I7 planes, wifh a personnel of 23 officers and 9I enlisfed men. Inasmuch as fhe original concepfion of fhe role of aircraff in war' fare was purely fhaf of observafion, fhe confrol of milifary aviafion was Ieff in fhe hands of fhe Signal Corps, and, indeed, aviafion remained in fhis branch unfil I9I8, when if was divorced from fhe Signal Corps and expanded info fwo deparfmenfs--fhe Bureau of Milifary Aero- naufics and fhe Bureau of Aircraff Producfion. Upon fhe ferminafion of fhe war fhese fwo deparfmenfs were consolidafed info fhe Air Service. The firsf acfual use of aircraff by fha Army began in March, l9I6, when fhe Firsf Aero Squadron, composed of Ib officers, 77 enlisfed men and eighf airplanes began operafions wifh fhe Punifive Expedifion in Mexico.

By fhe fime of our declarafion of war upon Germany in April of l9l7, Army aviafion consisfed of 65 officers l35 of whom were flyersl, I,087 enlisfed men and 55 airplanes. No beffer com- menfary can be made upon fhe changing role of air power af fhe beginning of fhe World War and of fhe presenf conflicf fhan fo compare fhis number wifh fhe lO,697 officers, l26,66O enlisfed men and 8,707 aviafion cadefs which we had on June 30, l94l, wifh fhe number consfanfly increasing under fhe impefus of 'rhe greafesf ex- pansion program in hisfory. During fhe firsf eighf years of ifs exisfence, I'-709-l9l6-a fofal of l42 airplanes had been delivered fo Army Aviafion. Congress, July of l9I7, appropriafed S640,000,000 for Army Aviafion, fhe largesf appropriafion which had ever been made up unfil fhaf fime for any single purpose. Working as rapidly as possible, fhe counfry began fhe giganfic fask of cafching up in producfion wifh counfries long af war. The firsf faslr was fo frain American flyers and for fhis purpose flying schools and ground schools were sef up af a number of schools and colleges. Nearly I5,000 flying cadefs received fraining in fhis counfry, and abouf l,B00 in Europe. By March, l9l8, our Army Aviafion sfrengfh was II,000 officers and I20,000 enlisfed men. Af fhe fime of fhe Armisfice we had 757 pilofs, 48l observers, with 740 planes and 77 balloons af fhe fronf, and I,402 pilofs, 769 air- planes and 252 balloon observers had enfered fhe Zone of Advance. While af fhe 'lime of fhe Armisfice less fhan 25 per cenf of fhe planes flown by American pilofs were of American manufacfure, we were already beginning fo swing info large scale producfion, prin- cipally of Brifish designed DeHavilIands and Handley-Page's equipped wifh fhe American Liberfy mofor, fhe greafesf confribufion of Ameri- can manufacfurers fo fhe war efforf. American aviafors were officially credifed wifh fhe desfrucfion of 49l enemy airplanes, of which 462 were accounfed for by 63 aviafors. We had 43 squadrons af fhe fronf af fhe fime of fhe Armisfice. Following fhe conclusion of fhe war, our air sfrengfh was allowed fo dwindle fo l,000 officers and l0,000 men. The Army Reorganizafion Acf of l920 provided for l,5I6 officers and I0,30O enlisfed men for fhe Air Service, and fhe Air Corps Acf of l926 aufhorized a Five Year Program which confemplafed af ifs They Flew Them When-Maior H.

On March I, I935, fha famous GHQ Air Force was esfablished, embracing all facfical Air Corps Unifs wifhin fhe Confinenfal Unifed Sfafes. Prior fo ifs formefion combaf squadrons were frained under widely differenf mefhods, depending upon fhe concepfion of fhe Group -Commanders. The purpose, which was accomplished, of fhe GHQ Air Force, was fo co-ordinafe fhe sysfems of fraining so as fo produce uniformify and fhe abilify to operafe fogefher as a feam. Anofher accomplishmenf was fhe lafer developmenf of fhe combaf crew as a fighfing feam. In pracfice, fhe same officers and men were assigned fo fhe same airplane, and each feam, fhrough consfanf co-operafion and pracfice, was able fo affain a high degree of effi- ciency. Even more imporfanf fhan all fhese innovafions, however, was fhe facf fhaf fhe Air Corps, as if was known fhen, was, for fhe firsf fime, under a unified command, and under an air officer, Maior General Frank M. Andrews lnow a Lieufenanf General in command of fhe Caribbean Defense Commandl. Here was anofher nofable sfep foward fhe fullesf developmenf of our Army Air arm as an independenfly- funcfioning enfify, complefe wifhin ifself. This organizafion of air power info a highly mobile sfriking force of greaf unified power had, as ifs backbone, fhe funcfion of Bombard- menf, The GHQ Air Force was divided info fhree Wings. The Firsf Wing, wifh headquarfers af March Field, California, com- prised fwo Bombardmenf Groups, one Affack Group, and fwo Recon- naissance Squadrons. The Second Wing, wifh headquarfers af Langley Field, Virginia, com- prised fwo Bombardmenf and fwo Pursuif Groups, and fwo Reconnais- sance Squadrons. The Third Wing, af Barksdale Field, Louisiana, was composed of one Affack and one Pursuif Group. Buf even fhis organizafion was fo be changed soon by fhe pressure of ever-increasing expanison of our Army Aviafion. On June 23, l94I, fhe Army Air Forces was esfablished. These included fhe Head- quarfers, Army Air Forces: fhe Air Force Combaf Command iwhich superceded fhe GHQ Air Forcel, fhe Air 'Corps and all ofher air Burgess Tracfor- l 9 I 4.

Af fhe same fime an Air Council was creafed fo review and co-ordinafe maior Army aviafion proiecfs. The Air Council included Assisfanf Secrefary of War for Air, Roberf A. Loveff iex-officiol, Lieufenanf General H. H. Arnold, presidenf of fhe council, Lieufenanf General Delos C. Emmons, Maier General George A. Breff, and fhe Chief of fhe War Plans Division of fhe War Deparfmenf General Sfaff. ln addifion fo his dufies as Depufy Chief of Sfaff lAirl, General Arnold became Chief of fhe Army Air Forces. General Emmons was made Chief of fhe Air Force Combaf Command, and General Breff, Chief of fhe Air Corps. Af fhe end of May, l94l, fhe Ferrying Command was organized fo speed up fhe process of geffing bombers fo our English allies. Originally under fhe command of Colonel Roberf Olds lnow a Brigadier General in command of fhe Second Air Force af Spokane, Washingfonl, if is now commanded by Brigadier General Harold L. George, and designafed Air Transporf Command. Since Pearl Harbor ifs acfivifies have been vasfly expanded info a huge world-wide organ- izafion engaged in 'lhe fransporf of all fypes of aircraff, plus supplies, equipmenf, and personnel fo all fhe fighfing fronfs. By fhe final reorganizafion, or sfreamlining, which fools place lasf March, fhe Air Corps ceased fo exisf, even as a purely adminisfrafive organizafion, and fhe 'Combaf Command was eliminafed, as well. The various combal' Air Forces, which are complefe unifs of fhem- selves, are now direcfly under fhe command of overall field com- manders such as General MacArfhur, anofher sfep forward in unified command. lf is inferesfing fo nofe fhaf many of fhese field com- manders, whose commands comprise all arms of fhe service, are fhem- selves air officers, such as General Andrews, in fhe Caribbean. Each Air Force is, of course, commanded by an Air Force Officer, of general grade, whefher wifhin fhe confinenfal Unifed Sfafes or over- seas. These combaf forces include all unifs of milifary aviafion such as bombardmenf, infercepfion lfighfer squadronsl, Observafion, and ground-air supporf, fogefher wifh fhe necessary mainfenance service. As a resulf of fhe March 9 change, fhe Air Forces are recognized as one of fhe fhree elemenfs of fhe Army, fogefher wifh Ground Forces and Supply. This new organizafion, designed fo simplify and speed up fhe chain of command, and fo provide fhe flexibilify and efficiency of operafion necessary 'ro accomplish fhe enormous faslc fhaf lies ahead, designafes Lieuienanf General H. H. Arnold as Commanding General, Army Air Forces, and also as Depufy Chief of Sfaff for Air on fhe Army General Sfaff. By fhe same reorganizafion, Lieufenanf General Joseph T. McNarney, one of fhe ablesf American air sfrafegisfs, was made Depufy Chief of Sfaff. ln addifion fo fhese fwo officers, however, fhe Air Forces have a far greafer represenfafion fhan ever on fhe General Sfaff, As a maffer of facf, fhe General Sfaff, as now consfifufed, is abouf one- half composed of officers from fhe Air Sfaff. The Air Sfaff, which is rafher like a Sfaff wifhin a Sfaff, and which is a purely Air Forces organizafion, is similar in general oufline fo fhe General Sfaff, buf on a slighfly smaller scale, wifh designafions such as A-l, A-2, efc. The complexify and exfension of Army aviafion from ils simple Signal Corps days unfil fhe presenf is no beffer illusfrafed fhan by a brief review of fhe various branches of fhe Air Forces. The overall picfure of fhe Army Air Forces organizafion may be summed up under four lcey words: Policy, Forces, Operafions, and Commands. The Policy funcfion has already been discussed af fhe sfarf of fhis arficle. lf is handled by fhe Commanding General of fhe Army Air Forces and 'rhe Air Sfaff, plus fhe Air Forces' parficipafion in fhe Army General Sfaff. ln addifion fo fhe Assisfanf Chiefs of fhe Air Sfaff lA-l, A-2, A-3 and A-41, fhere is an Air lnspecfor. The various Air Forces, which are fhe combaf organizafions of fhe Army Air Forces, have been covered in paragraphs above. The nexf group in 'rhe logical breakdown of fhe Army Air Forces organizafion is fhe Operafions Sfaff: fhis is divided info Milifary Requiremenfs, Technical Services, and seven adminisfrafive agencies: fhe Public Relafions Officer, Direcfor of Personnel, fhe Air Surgeon, Air Judge Advocafe, Budgef Officer, Direcfor of Managemenf Con- frol, and Milifary Direcfor of Civil Aviafion. Now for 'lhe fourfh elemenf of fhe organizafion of fhe Army Air Forces: operafing direcfly under fhe Commanding General of fhe is I' I Army Air Forces, seven greaT commands compose The lasf sfages of Air Forces' preparafion for combaf uniTs. IT may be of inTeresT To ouTline The funcfions of These various Commands. I. The MATERIAL COMMAND. Experimenfal aviafion acTiviTies, which were carried on aT Washingfon by a few Technicians prior To The World War, were concenfrafed aT DayTon, Ohio, on November 5, I9I7, under The command of 'Colonel V. E, Clark, Signal Corps. The labora- Tories, IocaTed aT McCook Field, were supplemenfed by offices in Dayfon. In I926 The Air Service became The Air Corps and The funcfions of supply, procuremenT and mainTenance of aircrafT were added To This division, and The name changed To MaTeriel Division. The IocaTion of The division was changed from McCook Field To Wrighf Field in I926. The Maferiel Division has figured direcTly or indirecTIy in nearly all imporTanT aircrafT developmenfs, commercial as well as milifary. IT is The greaT experimenfal and Tesfing branch of The Air Force and includes, among iTs many accomplishmenfs, superchargers, The Whirl- wind engine, use of eThyIene glycol for high TemperaTure cooling, high ocTane gasoline, vibraTion conTrol, meTal propellers, nighT and insTrumenT flying, haze peneTraTing film for aerial phofography, nighT and color phoTography, and many oTher developmenTs. 2. The FLYING TRAINING COMMAND. While The Headquarfers of The Air Corps Training Cenfer began To funcfion aT Duncan Field, San AnTonio, Texas, in I936, flying Training in The Army has been confinuous aImosT since The purchase of The firsT Wrighf airplane in I909. The firsT Army flying school was esfablished aT 'College Park, Mary- land, in OcTober, I909. LieuTenanT Frank P. Lahm and Frederick E. Humphreys were The firsT sTudenTs of The Wrighf brofhers. LieuTenanT Lahm IaTer became a Brigadier General and commanded The Training CenTer from iTs incepTion in Sepfember, I926, unfil Augusf 3I, I930. This veTeran flyer is now Air Officer of The Second Corps Area aT Governors Island, New York, Among The firsT five Army aviafors were LieuTenanT H. H. Arnold, now LieuTenanT General. Among Them also was LieuTenanT Beniamin D. Foulois, now Maior General, reTired. General Foulois became a Brigadier General aT The age of 38 as Chief of The Air Service of The FirsT Army, American ExpediTionary Force. He became a Maior General and Chief of The Air Corps on December 20, I93I. The funcTion of The flying Training Command is, of course, To co- ordinafe and direcf The immense iob of providing officers and men for The vasTIy expanding Air Forces. In order To accomplish This wiTh The greaTesT efficiency and To eIiminaTe The possibilify of adminisTra- Tive boTTlenecks, General Arnold seT up The Flying Training Command, as if now exisTs, under The command of Maior General Barfon K. Younf, wiTh headquarfers aT ForT Worfh, Texas. This command is divided in Three greaf regional Training areas, one in The SouTl'leasT, one in The Gulf CoasT region, and one in The SouThwesT. All of These regional Training areas are complefe wiThin Themselves, providing Their own Recepfion Cenfers, Replacemenf Cenfers, Primary, Basic, and Advanced Schools lfor pilot Traineesl, and NavigaTor Schools.

The firsf efforf fo lrain Army aviafion mechanics syslemafically was during lhe early days of The World War, ulilizing sfafe universifies and civil fechnical schools. The sysfem was a failure, due fo +he large cosfs involved, as well as ofher reasons. Therefore, fhe Avialion Seclion, Signal Corps, esfab- lished schools a+ Sf. Paul, Minnesola, and af Kelly Field, Texas. The Kelly Field school was disconfinued affer 'lhe Armisfice. ln l92l lhe school was moved lc Chanufe Field, Illinois, and in l922 fhe Phofographic School, al' Langley Field, and 'lhe Communica- 'rions School, af Forl' Sill, were consolidafed wifh if. The school oufgrew ifs area, and in l935 anofher sife was soughf for a second school, and a second school was esfablished a+ Lowry Field, near Denver, Colorado. The presenr expansion program of Army Avialion has necessilafed +he furlher expansion of fhe mechanic lraining program in order lo provide lhe ever-increasing Air Forces wil'h an adequale supply of lrained mechanics, parficularly in view of lhe facl' fhal' engines and equipmenl are consfanfly becoming more complex as well as pro- gressively more modern. The Technical Training 'Command provides fechnical fraining for Army Air Forces personnel no'l frained by fhe Flying Training Com- mand. Under fhis cafegory came nof only ground crew personnel, Lieufenanf Henry H. Arnold in Wrighr B airplane, College Park, Maryland, I9l l. Il' such as mechanics, but also such aircrew members as the aerial engi- neer and communications officer. 4. The AIR TRANSPORT COMMAND, as discussed previously, is concerned with air transport, for military use all over the world. 5. The AIR SERVICE COMMAND operates air depots, repairs air- craft, and distributes aircraft, equipment, and supplies to air units in the United States. 6, The TROOP TRANSPORT COMMAND transports air-borne troops and equipment, parachute troops and equipment, and tows troop- and cargo-carrying gliders. 7. The PROVING GROUND COMMAND operates proving grounds to test aircraft and equipment. AIR COMBAT It is quite probable that it is entirely too soon to attempt to define the role of the airplane in relation to the other combat forces of a nation. In spite of that fact there has been raging, and indeed still goes on, a debate between those who feel that air power has to a large extent superceded sea power and even land power as the deciding element in modern warfare, and those who feel that this extreme theory has yet to be supported by actual facts. There are mists who argue, like the Russian designer Seversky and the Iian General Douhet, that the day of the surface fleet is over, and that the future wars will be decided by the relative merits of the air forces of the combatants. On the other hand, we have the sure evidence of the failure of bombing alone either to permanently disrupt the war effort of a country or to terrorize its civilians into demands that its government surrender. In neither the Spanish Civil War nor n this war, up until the present, has it been possible for the advocates of air power alone to prove their contentions. At the same time it must be granted that no nation has as yet been able tkmount the type of air attack envisioned by those who hold that it will be air power that will decide the war. It seems likely, however, that this theory will be given a thorough test before the war is done. Certainly it is true that the conception of the airplane has already undergone a remarkable series of changes since the beginning of the World War, when it was regarded not in the light of a combat weapon at all. Indeed the first airplanes used in the World War were almost always of one type, a two-seater designed for reconnaissance work. As the war progressed specialization appeared and a class of air- Wright airplane-First plane in Philippine Islands at Fort McKinley. I9I2-Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, pilot. ff- f . . L .tae .. ,.. ...1 'k planes designed first for air fighting, then for bombing, appeared, Several nations, prior to the war, had experimented with the arming of aircraft with machine guns, but on the outbreak of the war no plane on the front was so armed. Rifles, carbines, pistols, and hand grenades were carried by the pilot and observer, The tactics of air fighting were rudimentary. The pilots simply flew close to the enemy and when within range the pilot and the observer blazed away with any weapon they happened to have handy. ln the summer of I9l5, belligerents began to mount machine guns in the planes, usually on a swivel bar at the back of the observer's seat. The observer could only fire the gun backwards toward the tail of the plane, firing over the pilot's head, which made for a very restricted zone of fire. This necessitated that in order to fire on an opponent, the plane had to fly away from the enemy, thus making it very difficult to be effective. The British experimented with a type of plane in which the gun was mounted in the front and the motors faced the rear. This type gave the advantage of frontal firing, but was so slow on climbing and flight that it was abandoned within a short time. The first real fighting aircraft to make its appearance was the Ger- man Fokker monoplane. Fast, maneuverable, and of the tractor type, the plane had a machine gun mounted in such a fashion as to syn- chronize with the revolutions of the propeller, thus allowing it to be fired straight ahead. The pilot aimed the gun by aiming the airplane. This plane was so obviously superior to those of the Allies that com- mand of the air passed to the Germans throughout the rest of the year. In l9I6, however, the British were able to challenge the Ger- mans by producing their own type of front-firing plane, although it was not until near the end of I9I6 that the Allies were able to produce machine gun mounted planes of the Fokker type. The success of the Fokker airplane was responsible for the advent of formation flying. Casualties among the French and British had grown so heavily that individual flights were discontinued and flights of three or more planes took their place. The Germans retaliated, and by the end of the war patrols were the accepted form of air tactics. lt early became apparent to air-minded officers that great damage could be inflicted upon the enemy by dropping bombs from aircraft on his troops, ammunition dumps, factories and other military in- stallations, Indeed, many of the early fighters attempted some rudi- mentary bombing flights, using hand grenades. These were usually First plane used by American aviators in France during World War ll9l8l, Morane Roulier airplane. if 1 1 as-ras: -5 W - , .?1'T'?:i'r -5.3, 1 ,xi-4-4 '- -'71 T214 A -, A ltr '39 iiff fl f ff 'bf' - 1- .2, A6 X 99+lm Aero Squadron officers in fronl of planes.

The Unifed Sfafes was among fhe firsf fo develop fhe arf of dive bombing, wherein fhe plane is poinfed downward af fhe 'largel and releases ifs bomb very low, depending upon fhe fremendous speed of fhe dive for profecfion.

Many milifary experfs say fhaf fhe Sfulra dive bomber is fhe greafesl' single confribufion of fhe war fo air combaf. The Germans also experimenfed wifh and developed fhe use of air- borne soldiers, ufilizing fhe parachufe, originally a safefy device, as an insfrumenf for fhe dropping of offensive men behind fhe enemy lines. The Russians also have used fhis exfensively, and paralroops are now a parf of every belligerenf Army. Troop fransporfs capable of carrying many men, supplies and equipmenf have also been de- veloped, and in fhe baffle of Crefe fhe Germans used air-borne froops fo carry fhe brunf of fhe baffle.

FuTure piloTs who are To receive Their pre-flighT Training are senT To one of several fields, where They undergo nine weeks of inTensive Training. The Training program for The pre-flighT piloT is in Three maior di- visions, sTressing aThleTics, miliTary and academic work. They are given one hour a day in afhlefics and one hour is devofed To miliTary Training. The miliTary Training consisfs of close order drill which Tends To improve miliTary carriage and To Teach discipline. Each man is drilled in The elemenTs of miliTary courTesy and receives acTual pracTice in firing The 45 caliber pisTol. The academic program includes exTensive sTudies in mafhemafics, physics, miliTary law, ciTizenship, nafional policy, organizaTion of The Unifed STaTes GovernmenT, The Army Air Forces, The Army, currenT evenTs, Types of Air Forces equipmenT and armamenf, command and adminisTraTion in small uniTs, The firing of The 45 caliber pisTol, and defense againsT chemical aTTack.

The Pre-FlighT NavigaTor is senT from The Classificafion CenTer To one of several NavigaTor Pre-Flighf Training Schools, where he under- goes nine weeks of Training which is basically The same as The pre- flighf piloT. There The work is divided inTo The same Three cafegories wiTh Their academic work placing more sTress on maThemaTics. Their oTher sTudies include Morse code, air forces, flags of all naTions, ground forces, physics, naval forces, mefeorology, phofography, maps and charTs, communicaTion, procedure, crypfography, and TargeT iden- Tificafion. They are also TaughT milifary discipline and The proper ways of safeguarding ,miliTary informaTion. They spend five hours each day in These classes wiTh new classes coming in every Three weeks. Their mili-Tary Training consisTs of 45 minuTes each day spenT in close order drill and inspecTions each SaTurday. During The nine weeks' course The men are also given some Training in chemical warfare and The use of gas masks and how To recognize The various Types of gases.

After graduation, young navigators with motto, Get 'em there-Get 'em back! can take bombers anywhere-Tokyo not excluded. muster ,,,. s il ..f- X + Hundreds of two-engined training ships like this whisk students aloft on l,000-mile missions. Ships carry a crew of five, the pilot, navigation instructor, and three students. They call him the Little Tin Guy. His nerves seem all metal, his mind works like a compass, and his iob is to get our bombers there and get 'em back, over land, over water, through weather and rain and hail and fog-through anything! He is better known as the navigator and he is being trained at specialized schools. The Little Tin Guy is being hammered out by the hundreds, and he will be hammered out by the thousands. He was present to smash the Jap fleet at Midway, and he carried the tire to Tokyo with General Doolittle. If he had not been along with his octant, his dividers and compasses, his maps and charts and unpronounceable gadgets, there would have been no victory at Midway, no tires at Tokyo. Below, right, in the back seat, another cadet navigates the same course by pilotage, or by checking points on his map with corresponding points on the ground.

But l an humbly conscious....as l know all of you muSt be.. .that war is a stern schoolmaster , and good marks are to be won only at the end of a hard and bloody course. lt would he less than justice to comrades who have withstood the first heat of the fight , if we concealed our pride in them.

Some have given us the inspiration of their heroic deaths, Others are daily examiles of daring, skill and courage. creating DSW All of them Ynve responded well to General Arnold's faith in the 51-my Lit Forces: Nl am confident that the personnel of my command will acquit themselves with honor and distinction, no , matter where and when we shall meet the enemy .

Previous fo fhis, flying fraining in fhe Air Forces had been resfricfed fo Randolph Field and ifs few branches in Texas. The eleven Wesfern Sfafes: California, Oregon, Washingfon, Idaho, Nevada, Ufah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Monfana-plus fhe small wesfernmosf porfions of Texas, Nebraska, Norfh Dakofa and Soufh Dakofa-was fhe ferrifory assigned fo AAFWCTC. Ifs quofa was, and is, one-fhird of fhe nafion's flying officers. ln fhose opening monfhs fwo years ago AAFWCTC had under ifs iurisdicfion only fhree flying schools-Glendale, Sanfa Maria and San Diego, all primary- wifh a fofal enrollmenf of 250 Aviafion Cadefs. lfs sighfs were aimed af 2,000 flyinq officer graduafes a year. Wifhin a year, by Augusf, I94I, AAFWCTC was expanding af a rapid pace. lfs schools grew fo I7 acfivafed and five under consfrucfion. Basic schools like lvlinfer Field af Bakers- field, advanced schools like Albuquerque and lvlafher and Sfockfon, supplemenfed fhe primary schools. Three fhousand Cadefs were enrolled. Today, wifh AAFWCTC well info ifs fhird year, ifs iurisdicfion covers dozens of schools fhroughouf fhe Wesfern Sfafes. The exacf number, of course, cannof be published, buf if's a far cry from fhose sfarfing days of 'rwo years ago. Headquarfers of AAFWCTC moved from Moffeff Field fo Sanfa Ana, California, when fhe former was refurned fo fhe sfafus of a Navy lighfer-fhan-air base in April, I942. The firsf Commanding General and organizer of fhe AAFWCTC was Brigadier General Henry W. Harms. Affer slighfly less fhan a year he was ordered fo Washingfon in June, I94I, and Colonel lnow Brigadier Generali Edwin B. Lyons femporarily assumed Command. In July, I94I, Major General Barfon K.

Affer six monfhs as head of AAFWCTC, General Younf was called fo Washingfon in Janu- ary, I942, and appoinfed head of fhe new Flying Training Command, now headquarfered af Forf Worfh, Texas. His successor was Major General Ralph P. Cousins, Wesf Poinf graduafe and member of fhe sfaff of Lieufenanf General Henry H. Arnold. Today AAFWCTC includes a huge recepfion, classificafion and pre-flighf fraining cenfer af The Sanfa Ana Army Air Base: primary, basic, and single-engine, fwin-engine and four-engine pilof advanced fraining schools: pre-glider schools in Texas and Colorado: glider pilof schools: gunnery schools in Nevada and Arizona: navigafion school af iviafher Field, Sacramenfog and six bombardier schools fhroughouf fhe Soufhwesf. - ,wg 1 'fX fn ff ef 'six gif f ga ,Ks Q.

Dyer fook over command of fhe Posf from Colonel Bailey in Ocfober, I942, and his advenf inaugurafed maior changes fhaf have accom- plished much fo make fhe field one of fhe largesf and finesf on fhe Wesf Coasf. Maior James C. Nysfrom lllll llll ll Sllllllll fhe presenf Execufive Officer, arrived on fhe Posf in Ocfober as Posf Adiufanf, lafer succeeding Lieufenanf Colonel Mulligan as Execufive Officer when fhe laffer wenf fo fhe General Sfaff School. All fhe newer buildings are of modern design, con- sfrucfed wifh an eye fo economy of space. They are a dark brown, almosf indisfinguishable from fhe air, fhough fhe early buildings are whife, wifh green roofs. Merced Army Flying School has an up-and-coming newspaper begun in fhe earliesf days of fhe field, a weekly radio program fhaf is achieving widespread pop- ularify, a spacious chapel, a Posf Exchange sfore and res- fauranf, a failor shop, a barber shop for enlisfed men and cadefs, officers' club, and recreafion rooms for all sduadrons. One of fhe oufsfanding insfifufions of fhe field is fhe Air Mechanic School under direcfion of Capfain David Anderson. This school furns ouf mechanics and insfrucfors every eighf weeks, and gives insfrucfion fo every cadef on fhe posf. When fhe original Posf Operafions building was de- sfroyed by fire, a new building of more modern fype was erecfed fo me-ef fhe growing reguiremenfs. An efforf has been made, and a highly successful one, fo beaufify fhe field by planfing lawns, frees and shrub- bery, so fhaf pafches of green now meef fhe eye in every direcfion. A recenf addifion is a large swimming pool, available fo all on fhe hof summer days. ln fhe field hospifal fhe lafesf eguipmenf of all kinds is ready fo serve in any emergency, and fo mainfain fhe high sfandard of healfh required of fhe field personnel. lf is complefe, wifh wards, privafe rooms, denfal and eye clinics, fesfing laborafories, X-ray deparfmenf, and several operafing rooms. Daily inspecfion by medical personnel is made in all mess halls, dining rooms, res- fauranfs and kifchens. Merced Army Flying School boasfs one of fhe finesf bands on fhe Wesf Coasf, and fhe radio is spreading ifs popularify far afield. The musicians are much in demand for Merced dancers. Sifuafed in fhe gafeway fo Yosemife, fhe Posf is in an advanfageous posifion for ifs personnel fo visif fhis famous resorf for bofh winfer and summer sporfs.
