Howard USMCR, Ground Training Offi cer. ini 14- After completing the instrument training in squadron 13, a cadet advances to one of the six specialized squadrons for final training. The first of these fighter squadrons are l4A and l4C stationed at Kingsville Field. Located about 35 miles southwest of the Main Station in Corpus Christi, Kingsville was commissioned on July 4, 1942. The SNJ indoctrinates the incoming cadets into a smaller and more sensitive type of aircraft. ln this plane, cadets also apply the navigational and basic flying work he has learned in the past months, in other squadrons. Many long hours of training are used to perfect naval efficiency in gunnery, formation, acrobatics, night flying and combat tactics. Squadron 14A instructors. 5 , Q.,- M ,O ff if is ir ir' at utr if

QWJ lfl'C KiNosviLLE FIELD A This fighter squadron syllabus is of great value to its students because of its similarity to combat duty with the regular fleet. Many of the instructors, training cadets, are fighter pilots who have returned from the fleet. The experience which they have obtained under combat conditions, is extremely valuable for the instruction of cadets. Soon after the completion of the course at Kingsville, a cadet receives the wings of a Naval Aviator. He is commis- sioned and sent to an operational base where he accumulates many hours flying time in the specific type plane he is to fly with the fleet. With this last base behind him, a new and reacly Naval Aviator will join the fleet. Squadron 'l4C instructors. i . T
