many benefits of joining the Air Corps.The film shows that joining the Air Corps provides a quick path to
non com and high paying officer status and an advanced training
program that would prove beneficial after the War. The film points
out that every U.S. Air Force bombardier, navigator and pilot was an
officer (a sore point with the RAF)
Cadet Classification Narrated by Lt. Ronald Reagan. Most young men who joined the
Air Corps, wanted to be a pilot, but was up to the the training
schools to determine where they made the best fit, "Bombardier,
Navigator or Pilot."

Academy Award Winner Capt. Clark Gable. This film was developed by
the Army Air Corps to show men what to expect when they entered
Officer's Candidate School in Miami, Fla.There was a lot more to
becoming an
officer than learning how to fly
