Dedication ... Throuqh !he many paqff o.f this book we have sought to keep

in line tho llttl• men who al Umes are so trylnq to pilots and their

crows. Yea. th• Gremlins have landed, and unlorrunalely have lhe

situation only too well in hand. We did our best through days and

weary Diqhts of work to keep them from their "impish" taska .•.

It didn't work! Nothing ,.eemod to work! So ln the end we were be<rten. And ao this dedication.

To tho Gremlins ..• the little men who s poiled our check

rides . . . gave our insiructors thal momin9-<rffer feeling • . . made

our crankshafts break .. . and popped our "chutes!" Some even

went so far as to move the field during our landlnqs, causinq ... to

oyer or under•hooL All in all ours was an unhappy lot. for their

boi,ng near. Wo could no more prevent their actions on the lliqht

line than we could keep their meddlesome little hides out of this

book. Theroforo It's theirs .•. the whole thing! May their antics

in future years delight us as much as they do now.

B Flight At> we 90 to press, we of B-flight ore windinq up our slay al V-D,

white we are slrU<;;9linq feverishly lo brinq our flyin.g hours up lo tha Sc\led· uled over<:IQe. We hove been beset by fog, we have double-timed to atone for our sius, we have mixed up our school schedule, and since we have been flying:, we have. done our best to shooter the pride ol the Ryan Aircraft Corporation.

But now, meet some of th'e boys who have helped to make S,f'Jiqbt

outstandinq. First there is Clemovitz. the lirst to solo and Dovmlng, the firSl

to get married. (Both brave men.) Then there is Bly who dumped four pumps of flapS twenty feet from terra fi rmer; end Rip-chord Baker who gave his chute <X pr<1cUco:I lest-on the ground. We hove Br-0.llCh. frie boy who rode a PT like a bronco; !lap-happy Collier; and Dewey, who steers a PT like a toboqg.an. Now look al our extra-curricular record. Cafarelli rides side-saddle down the main street oi Visalic on the back oi a bicycle; C!ogeit

warbles his way into a USO show; Burbi and Eiadlord wrestle their way into a ten minute brace on the !light line; and flnally, E-2 pulls a New

Year's E11e .Comm<XOdo raid on E-1. in short, what would you e xpect fwm the likes of what B-flight claims?

Well, you should eitpect the best, cmd 11 is here that we should give due credit to the efforts of our instructors. Those who have taught us to fly ore the bes! Jn !he world, and we khow II. Those who have had us in

ground school have petformed miracles as shown by the lac! thal they have really taught us somelhin9.

So we give yoµ B-fllght, one of the most as!oundlnq lhin<;1s lhal ever hit a west coast prtmary school.

Field, Our slay was much like that of <my other Oi9ht, marked by the same <:rntics that make 0\lr

lives as c<:xdeis Qawciole. We had our laughs, ci;r qood times, and 6ur !le[dness to,. ffio9e of llll who

didn't make the qrade. To them we wish the very best of luck from the bottem oL '?ur heo.rts. Fer

those of us wbo are 9om9 On there wlll be many pleasan; memories oJ our slay- such ds Noscd's "cross·counU:y," Gillin9hom's record ol ten passes to make one qcod solo lliqht, and Fl. J. Jones'

mfracuJous obi-lily 1o "snew" everyone and every thln9-including qn airplane. Then, of course, we·

had our "hot pilots;' loo-Gattis could tell us by the hour about those smooth kmdin9s; Hannuro's

stranc;ie ability for tcul·hiqh takeo!Is; !here were a.so limes when Troy Jones and Fred Hqrcesltos hod

their innln9s, not 10 menYon M~lure as our !11s1 solo Jn the ili9bt.

Tbose of us who tock 9round school classes wiih fhe Inimitable Bill frllz .,.,,n never 1or9et the

sessions In Von Duse.n's engines clQSs when questions such as "Why bcrltery acid was in the car· buerato.r" we;e asked.

All in all we liked our stcry. We put In 0\1r time al flylnq and In 9oin11 to sch¢!, and really

dld little else. Ours was o- good UlQhl. manned by good. men. our comrades. For us a place has been reserved near ihe ringside ol hlstory. We ore c;iomg on lowc;1rd the raal job ll'l the hope that'

ihrowh our eliorts we, as men of the air, may help to shape the destiny of our country, the world

The dodos came al ten. The gates swun9 open and throuqh them

they passed into a new life ... ene in which they didn't quite know what

to expect. A life lilied with upperclassmen. Of calls such as "Get .off the

gi:ass" and "Pop to l.-f.lster." Throuo;ih all ihis they went with tolerance and

hope . . . looking !orward to their day. And now at last it has come. "T al<e

We've slepped away kom earth

To whirl on wind born wJngs, Throuqh endless blue of gentle space

Toward sun and s1ors And toward lhe place

Where God and man are one.

We've flown our level way

Toward moun1oll\S snow bound a,"ld hiqh.

Across the qreot green volley Where far below ln symmetry he

Our fields, our planes. our land.

F9r them we'vo risen on '90lden wings

1'o cross the endless "halls'' of mist With open hoor·ls and eo:ger hands

We've grasped the controls ... and sought to fly That they, so throug:1 eternity may lie

In the qulel happiness of peace.
