Additional Details:
Early morning scene at Randolph Field, Texas, the "West Point of the Air" as the 500 Flying Cadets, soon to be full-fledged military pilots in the Army Air Corps, march to their planes for the daily flying routine. Half of these future pilots are scheduled to complete their second phase of training at Randolph Field about June 15. Ahead of them lies a final ten weeks course of advanced flying at Kelly Field before they are awarded their wings. Two more training centers, compromising both basic and advanced flight training soon will be opened to aid in the training of 7000 pilots annually, the Air Corps' present expansion plan.
