Etat : Very good to near-fine. Vol. 2, No. 1 of a serial compiled and edited by aviation students of the 65th C.T.D. ("college training detachment") at Syracuse University.

The Flight training we receive here is the foundation upon which we must build surely and solidly; we must live, breathe and think, flying, to be qualified to fill the place of those who have gone before, and keep the faith of those at home" (p. 22). Includes photos of the young men engaging in sports, training, leisure and social activities. Also includes a very sweet photo of the "Corps Pin Up Girl", the Commanding Officer's toddler, with her dog. Single vol.
