ARMY,MEN,WINGS Skies-Fraternal Ties Thousands Fly
With the coming of modern warfare, thousands of young aviation cadets have taken their places in the sky to form the basis of a system of aviation training which is unexcelled anywhere in the world. The young men attracted by this adventurous program have come from all walks of life. They have, however, several things in common.
Intelligence, outstanding character, splendid physique, and excellent health added to their fire and courage aid the young flyers as they stand with their eyes on the skies. Standing together in a common purpose, aviation cadets have been welded into a great fraternity which $ \textcircled{1} $
now makes up the combat teams of the nation's air forces.
The Army Air Corps aviation cadet training program consists of training at special schools which include courses preparing for bombardier, navigator, pilot, armament, communication, engineering, meteorology, and photography. Courses in bombardier, navigator, and pilot training are referred to as air crew training; while the remaining courses are known as ground crew training.
Requirements state that young men shall be between the ages of 18 and 26 and citizens of the United States for at least 10 years. Physical and mental qualifications must be met for both air crew and ground crew training.
After aviation cadets have been accepted into air crew training, they are sent to a replacement center. Here they selected the specialized courses they desire and the technical training continues.
Cadets in ground crew training are sent to one of the five schools: armament training at Lowry Field, Denver; communication training at Scott Field, Belleville, Ill.; engineering training at Chanute Field, Rantoul, Ill.; meteorology training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, California Institute of Technology, University of California at Los Angeles, and the University of Chicago; and photography training is given at Lowry Field, Denver.
Upon completion of any of the courses cadets are graduated and commissioned second lieutenants in the Air Corps Reserve, Army of the United States, and are assigned to duty with the air forces in the capacity in which they are trained. The air corps officer, during the period of training with tactical units of the Air Corps, has the opportunity to observe all the phases of aviation, and to build up his flying experience toward the objective of every air corps reserve officer-a total of 1,200 hours flying time.
In addition to his air training, the reserve officer will receive study in air navigation, engineering, radio,

and armament, and has an opportunity to specialize in one or more of these fields. After three years of extended active duty, a second lieutenant is promoted to a first lieutenant.

Expansion of the air corps requires a number of additional regular Army Air Corps officers, and under existing law a limited number of vacancies in the regular Army Air Corps are available each year. Graduate aviation cadets who possess the necessary qualifications and meet the requirements for commission in the regular army air corps are eligible to compete in examinations for commissions in the regular army. To be eligible to take such regular army examinations, a candidate must be unmarried and agree to remain unmarried for at least one year following commission.
Working through this carefully constructed plan of training and specialization go the aviation cadets of the Air Force reserve and the regular army air corps. As the war advances so advances and broadens the flying training program to offer more opportunities to air-minded Americans and to give background and basis to the cry, "Keep 'em Flying."
Members of Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Akron, hearing that men students were buying fewer defense stamps than were the co-eds, offered a kiss with each stamp sold on "bargain day."
The usual day's sales had been $8.
"Bargain" day hit $30.
Not to be outdone, the Purdue University chapter of Alpha Zeta, national agricultural honorary fraternity, held a dinner.
But there wasn't any food on the table. Money that would have been spent for food was given to the Red Cross or used to buy defense bonds.
