★ FOREWORD ★ ★ ★ ★ In the sky today are thousands of pilots, bombardiers, and navigators in fighter planes, trainers and bombers. Their business aloft is not only to defeat an enemy but also to preserve a way of life, to lay the foundation for a better world. The victory which will come from the bravery and gallantry of these men will result in a world limitless with opportunity for rich and poor, young and old, alike. There is no doubt that today, 1943. is the Magic Age of Flight. Realizing this fact the Annual Staff has attempted to give a glimpse of this Age of Flight in the Annual of this year. Developing our theme around the four stages of an Air Corps cadet’s training, Rlementary, Basic, Advanced, and Graduate, we have tried to show the similarities of this training to a three-year high school course. West High School, in the following pages, has been transformed to West High Field and the students to cadets.
