CAPT. WILLIAM H. WARREN DirecTor of Ground School LeTT To righT: TirsT row, LTs. R. J. STuarT, G. B. Levin, T. D. RoberTs H. D. STubbleTield: second row, LTs. M. RosenblaTT, C. V. Hen- dricks, L. G. Knepshield. J. D. BarneTT, C. L. Williams. Ground chool The SecTion marched silenTly inTo The classroom, each CadeT Tinding his own seaT and sTanding aT Parade ResT. The insTrucTor enTered The room and The secTion marcher shouTs, aTTen-shun. He marched up To The in- sTrucTor, saluTed briskly and said, Sir, Three men absenT. Then doing an abouT Tace, he said To The class, seaTs. He Then Took his own seaT. The insTrucTor cleared his ThroaT and sTarTed. l be- lieve The assignmenT Tor Today was on air masses in moTion. Now TirsT- . Or- The discussion Today is on airfoils, Then moTion in TlighT and- Or- Today we'll discuss The radio range. As you know The range is Tormed by- Or- Today we'll have a wriT on air regulaTions. I know l didn'T warn you, buT- Or- FirsT l'll announce The grades on yesTerday's wriT. l'm sorry To say- And so iT goes, on and on, every day OT a cadeT's life. The ground school educaTion oT a cadeT would cosT many dollars if he had To pay Tor iT himselT. BuT he doesn'T, aT leasT noT wiTh money. BuT he musT spend many hours ap- plying himself and pouring over Technical manuals ThaT are aT besT very dry reading. BuT when weekly grades are posTed, he geTs a per- sonal saTisTacTion oT an 80 ThaT beaTs any Teeling ThaT he ever goT in a civilian school. He knows ThaT every new Thing he learns here is help- ing To drive anoTher nail in some Axis PiloTs' coTTin. EveryThing he learns in ground school is oT viTal im- porTance To a piloT. NavigaTion, cloud TormaTion, radio code, aircraTT engines, radio comrnunic'aTion, Theory oT TlighT and on and on. CerTainly iTs Tough, especially when There is very liTTle Time Tor sTudy, buT when who ever heard oT anyThing worTh while being easy? 4 You can beT one Thing: every cadeT is Trying his hard- esT, and when all The smoke and 'powder has cleared away, every one oT The insTrucTors in ground school will be blessed by many pilo'Ts in The Air Forces aT leasT once, because some biT oT special knowledge learned in school has helped him To come ouT on Top insTead oT down under.
