IF YOU CAN WIN
THESE WINGS YOU CAN EARN OVER
*5,000 A YEAR AFTER GRADUATION
Important facts about the opportunities for YOU
as a Commissioned Officer—Pilot or Aircraft Observer
in the United States Air Force
Must I be a college graduate to take Aviation Cadet Training?
No. But you must have completed a minimum of 60 semester
hours or 90 quarter hours toward a degree. In addition, under
the new Aviation Cadet training program, you must be be
tween the ages of 19 and 26J/£ years, unmarried, and in good
physical condition—with high requirements for eyes, ears,
heart and teeth.
How long before I get my commission?
60 calendar weeks. You will receive the finest aviation training
in the world—training that not only equips you to fly modem
military aircraft but prepares you for executive and administra
tive work as well. At the completion of your training, you will
have acquired a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant and the
coveted silver wings of the United States Air Force.
Where do I take my training?
Pre-flight training will be at Lackland Air Force Base, San
Antonio, Texas. Primary, basic and advanced training will be
taken at any one of the many Air Force bases located throughout
the South and Southwest.
What happens if I flunk the training course?
Every effort is made to help students whose progress is unsatis
factory. You can expect extra instructions and whatever indi
vidual attention you may require. However, if you fail to
complete the course as an Aviation Cadet, you will be required
to serve a two-year enlistment to fulfill the minimum requirement
under Selective Service laws. Veterans who have completed a
tour of military service will be discharged upon request if they
fail to complete the course.
What pay do I get as an Aviation Cadet? And aftert
As an Aviation Cadet you draw $109.20 a month pay. In
addition, you get summer and winter uniforms, flight clothes,
equipment, food, housing, medical and dental care and insurance
... all free. After you are commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant you
will be earning $5,300.00 a year—with unlimited opportunities
for advancement.
Are all Aviation Cadets trained to be Pilots?
No. You can choose between becoming a Pilot or an Aircraft
Observer. Men who choose the latter will become commissioned
officers in Navigation, Bombardment, Radar Operation, or
Aircraft Performance Engineering.
Do Aircraft Observers get Hying training, too?
Yes. Aircraft Observer Cadets receive approximately 200 hours
of "in the air” instructions. The primary phase of Aircraft
Observer training is the same for all branches (navigation,
bombardment, etc.). The basic and advanced phases of training
vary, depending on the specific course you pursue.
What kind of airplanes will I fly?
You will fly jets. The Pilot Cadet takes his first instructions in
a light, civilian-type plane of approximately 100 horsepower,
then graduates to the 600 horsepower T-6 "Texan” before
receiving transition training in jets. You then advance gradually
until you are flying such famous first-line aircraft as F-86 Sabre,
F-89 Scorpion, B-47 Stratojet, B-50 Superfortress. Observer
Cadets take flight instructions in the C-47 Dakota, the T-29
Convair, and the TB-50 Superfortress before advancing to first
line aircraft such as the F-89 Scorpion, B-47 Stratojet.
Will my commission be in the Regular Air Force or Reserve?
Aviation Cadet graduates, both Pilots and Aircraft Observers,
get Reserve commissions as 2nd Lieutenants and become eligible
to apply for a regular Air Force Commission when they hayo
completed 18 months of active duty.
How long must I remain in Service?
After graduation from the Aviation Cadet Program, you are
tendered an indefinite appointment in the United States Air
Force Reserve and are called to active duty with the United
States Air Force for a period of three years.
What recreation and leisure time will I have as a Cadet?
Discipline will be rigid—especially for the first few weeks:
However, it is not all work. You’ll find swimming pools, handball
courts, movies and other forms of recreation on the post.
Where will I be stationed when I get my commission?
You may be stationed anywhere in the world .. . Hawaii, Far
>'ast, Europe, Puerto Rico, elsewhere. During your tour of duty,
you will be in close touch with the latest developments in new
flying techniques. You will continue to build up your flying
experience and later should have no difficulty securing a CAA
commercial pilot or navigator rating.
Your future is assured if you can qualify! Here’s what to do
/Take a transcript of your college credits and a copy of your birth certificate to your nearest
Air Force Base or Recruiting Station. Fill out the application they give you.
2 If application is accepted, the Air Force will arrange for you to take a physical
examination at government expense.
• •
j Next, you will be given a written and manual aptitude test.
4 If you pass your physical and other tests, you will be scheduled for an
Aviation Cadet training class. The Selective Service Act allows you
a four-month deferment while waiting class assignment.
