Guul Ae iQ-naidiLcA, AclminidJAcdian vUa i naming a e wice THE Civil Aeronautics Administration War Training Service was started at the Univer- sity in 1939 under the name of Civilian Pilot Training, when The University of Wichita was one of the earlier schools chosen to give this training. Before July 1 , 1 942, 345 men and women com- pleted this training, consisting of 72 hours of ground school, covering 16 weeks ' training. On July 1, the program was open only to men en- listed in the Army Air Corps Reserve. MY DAY ' UNIVERSITY OF WICHITA Paw 26 • Since that time, 292 trainees have taken the training, elementary or secondary. The ground school program now consists of 240 hours taken during an eight-week period. Because of this stepped-up program, 32 members of the Univer- sity faculty have assisted at one time or another in the teaching of these trainees. Flight training was given by Rawden Brothers Flying Service, Harte Flying Service, and Mc- Junkin Flying Service, all located in Wichita. As an Army Air Corps unit and a Civil Aero- nautics Unit cannot be located in the same place, the program came to an end in 1943. The last group of trainees received their wings in April. The program was directed by Roy W. Elliott as coordinator and Richard S. Courtney and Francis J. Nock, as assistant coordinators. The picture above shows a group of trainees in the elementary or secondary flight training that have just received their wings. At the extreme right are: second row, Richard Courtney, Ed- mund G. Bradfield, of the district C. A. A. office; first row, Francis Nock, J. E. Wood, of the dis- trict office, and Roy W. Elliott. The cartoon was drawn by a C. A. A. trainee to illustrate a typical day of the trainee of the University of Wichita.
