OUR HOME ON THE RANGE

What 1s now one of the (mc~c pnrnary trammg schools m the country.

Cor.;1~m Faeld. a ~t ago wa:- httle more than a ban <emblan.:c l'I a

ll)'ln( field w11h a ban1?ar and .m excuse for" runv.-ay. But m th.: -hon

spare of fiftcc:n months, under th~ dlrectmn of the government, rhc lti~ld

has mushroomed int.0 one of the. chief western contributor$ co the cv~r

growmg !IUgbt of the l\ir Fam:

Loca~ m a '.'iOUtherly direction lrom chc cown of On1~na. the 11 .. -!d

now boasts of complete trairung f.\cilit11:~.-. mcludin~ adequate hanJ?.11", a

aerie& of ranch type barracks, a hospital, mess hall and administration build·

ing. It's a pleasant place to look at and live in. The buildings form a geo­

metric pattern on a wide expanse of very green ~rass; varicolored flowers

in beds edge the manY. brood, white sidewalks. The cadet quarters are fin• i5}ied in gray <i.nd green, each bay a soldier's dream, complete with box· spring bed, a desk, chair apd a huge wall locker for each man.

On the serious side of this country club atmosphere, there is the fact that

the field has one of the stiffest flying courses known in p!imary flying ci.r,

des, a ground schocl par excellen<ie and a prbud record of over seventy

thousand flying hGurs without a fatality. The large group of dv.i1ian in·

structors who give the Cadets their fifst introduction to the air and Atmy

fiying methods are the cream of the crop and the planes flown the very

best that money could buy for the l?urp~.

The field is owned and managed by Air Activities of Texas and th7ough

their efforts and close cooperation with the Army a con.stant expansion

ha:s kept the field ~reast of di.e 9eman<4 of the war effort. T-0day. instead

of one field, the.re a:r:e five; new barracks are constantly being built and the

hangars enlarged. Almost every week new planes jein the fast growing fleet

of training ships that are wheeled out in smart military alignment every

morning on the ·flying line. Every ten weeks a cla,ss qf Cadets is turned out

ready for the next rung in tile flyiog ladder~ath man with the knowledge

that he "got the Wl')rks" and has learned b:is lesson well at Corsicana Field.

The time passes quickly as is always the care when there i's a minimum ·of

spare time, but when a class leaves the field many memories. go with them­

Those nights they sat under the stars and saw moving pictun:s, the Diesel

rqar of the streamline streaking down the tracks past the gate on the way

to D.allas and Waco as they did calesthenics, the red rnetning sun throwing

the oil derricks in bold relief on the horizon at reveille as the motors began to roar on the flying line, days rich with excitement and new and thrilling experience-In short, ten weeks that were more than just another post to

a soldier. and whieh he will remember vividly long after the uniform up in the attic has ceased to fit him .

As the repres.:.ntat1\'C of Air Activities ol Texas, as a leader m the development ot our air force, and as ooe genwnely interested in youth, his is both an mflu· ence and an inspiration.

H 1s is the guiding spirit which has made it possible for the many courtesies and comforts which have been enjoyed by oursclves and the friends and rela­t1,·es who have visited us during our stay at Corsicana Field. It is the little things which go to make up the big things and it is just such things as CGurtesy and kindness wb.ich makes tt 1mposs1ble to dislike or forget one. His oti:.enship adds adornment to the nation, his character is an anchor to all, his friendship is a blessing to all Qdets, and his example one for all to follow.

GR OUND SCHOOL Just as 11,1odern wars are largely won by organization behind the lines, so is the modern airplane flown to a great extent from the classroom blackboard. Cnderstanding of Naviga.tion, the intricacies of Aviation Mecharucs, the .basic principles and theories of flight, and the science of mete<,rology is a prerequisite of the Army flier. Through daily classes in these. subjects at Ground School, Cadets learn how to find their way in uncharted skies, bow to get the ~t performance out of the planes they will fly, how to make gcx1d and faithful servants out of the instruments in the cockpit and bow w make an ally om of the elements.

A THLETICS JOHN I.. KEEL. D1recror

Physical trammg plays an important position in tl\e present training pro­gram for J\rr Corps pilots. Since physical -'Ondition is :m important phase in this present speeded·up program to train scores of thousands of pilots annually, over~mphasis on their physical conditio11 cannot be made. This fact is borne out by the decision of the Air C.Orps general staff to place in each trammg school m the United States a -w-cll-qualified dU'CctOr of phy· sical trauung.

Each young man before being accepted as an a ,·iation cadet must pass a rigid physical examination. As a result of this, the aviation cadecs are far above the average from a phy;;ical standpoint. To Mr. John Keel and Mr. Ahin Chrisman has falli.!n th!! Job to m:i.intain and e'-en 1mpro'-e this physical weU bemg.

Predominant in the training pro­gram is the teaching of co-ordina• tion, the primary pre-requisite of a pilot. Following closely in lme wirh co-ordination is the bwlding up of stamina necessary for th.? physical enduranc:e and oerllOOS ren•1on ac· companying this type of dury. To

ac.:omph•h this end various act1\:1tles are mcludcd io the teaming program which lay parti.:ular streSs on the-o.e points.

The primary function of this training detachment is to teach cadets to fly an airplane aod 1t 1s with this view in mind that their physical activities arc regulated and supe~i;.ed.

Physical training at the detachment takes place every day except Sunday wnh the ma1ority of the work being ·Carried on outdoors where the bright Tt-xas sun puts us in the pink. Provisions are also made for physical train· mg indoors during inclement \\--Cather. Although the physical training de· p.irtm~nt has been m o peration only a short time, there is quite ao extensive· layo~1t covering nearly all types of games. Plans now call for a still further OC\'elopmeot in the form of hard ·surface areas for tennis, baseball, and other ;uch i:ames, as well as handball courts. Probably the most interesting de· 'dopm<!nt as far a:; cadets arc conrerned 1s the possible constru.:tion of a swunmmg pool.

~ work of the phyl'1cal training department tends to increase mPrak as well a~ increase <'ach a\'latmn .:adets' physical well being and it is to rhar .:nd that Mr. Keel and Mr. Chn-man extend their efforts to "Keep u~ fir'· m ord.?r chat wi!, the furure pilots, may "Keep 'Em Flying."

SHAVETALE SHORTS: Over in Barracks Four where the Student Officers sweat out the check rides the hange r flyin g necessitates excessive burning of the night oil. .... Of course some time is spent in shining those heavy shoulder bar s but f eets of the day r eally draw the boys into 8 t ight circle .....
