PROLEGOMENAIf wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not bewritten upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.

-James A. Garfield

Approaching the end of its teens, Civil Air Patrol in 1960 preparednew programs, new stimuli for its own teen-age members - the CAPcadets. It aimed at increased membership, called for renewed vigorby its seniors and cleared the way for a vast number of privateaviators to join its ranks and swell the task force of civilians trainedto cope with emergencies.Civil Air Patrol entered its twentieth year of service to the nationon December 1, 1960.Individuals, ranging from celebrities of show business to figures ofnational, state and community acclaim, began adding their namesto the roster of CAP contributing patrons, signifying their interestand support to the civilian Air Force auxiliary.The nineteenth year of Civil Air Patrol ended with a pattern forprogress firmly established.6

NEW CONCEPT ARE BORNFor Civil Air Patrol leaders, 1960 was a year of review and evaluation.A realistic appraisal of all phases of the Civil Air Patrol program hasresulted in the formation of new policies and concepts.Of significant importance was Civil Air Patrol's demonstrated willing-ness to cooperate and assist the Civil Defense effort at state, countyand community level. At the National Board meeting April 25-26,1960, it was resolved by the National Board that CAP wing com-manders are authorized to execute agreements for and in the nameof Civil Air Patrol, Incorporated, with respective State Civil DefenseAgencies to designate duties, responsibilities and relationships inpreparation for and during local Civil Defense emergencies.At the July 1960 meeting of the National Executive Committee aresolution was adopted to implement a recruiting and retention planto increase senior membership. This plan is designed to stimulatethe interest of aircraft owners, pilots, educators, clergymen, prom-inent citizens, public office holders, and parents of CAP cadets, Theinitial phase of this plan is the enrollment of eligible and interestedpersonnel as Contributing Patrons. Literature and periodicalsdesigned to encourage increased participation in CAP activities wasto be distributed to them. A one-year goal of 26,000 ContributingPatrons was established.Renewed interest and determination to attain the objectives andgoals of the cadet program were evidenced at the National Boardmeeting of October 15, 1960. The National Board pledged to doublethe CAP cadet membership in 1961.The Emergency Services program was adopted by CAP in October1960. This innovation allowed for a new type of member into CivilAir Patrol. He is the owner-pilot specialist; an aircraft owner andexperienced pilot who would be obligated to participate only inemergency missions called for by the Air Force or other agencies.This program is designed to attract the sportsman-pilot aircraft ownerwho wishes to assist during emergencies, but because of personalor business commitments is unable to participate in all phases ofthe CAP program previously required of regular members.

, -The CAP-USAF liaison structure acquired more strength during 1960.Regional liaison office manning was increased from eight to seven-teen personnel and additional Headquarters CAP-USAF manning was

7

authorized. This reorganization was due primarily to the loss ofair transportation facilities at wing level, which seriously curtailedthe activities of wing liaison officers and resulted in an increasedworkload at regional liaison offices and Headquarters CAPUSAF.The C-45 aircraft assigned to each wing (state) were phased out ofthe CAP-USAF liaison program and were replaced by C-47 and U-3Aaircraft assigned to regional liaison offices. Fifteen C-47 and eightU-3A aircraft are assigned to Headquarters CAP-USAF, regionalliaison offices, and the Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico Wing liaisonoffices.

E MSince its formation nearly 20 years ago, Civil Air Patrol has earnedthe reputation of being a valuable civilian asset in emergency.This reputation began with a war, when adults flying private planesbecame the forerunners of CAP today. Interest in aviation broadenedas time went on and CAP's leaders looked to the future; they sawthat youth must be prepared to fill their jobs.Civil Air Patrol as an organization remained intact when peace cameand, after a few years, its training and educational potential wasrecognized. The CAP Cadet Training Program evolved in 1946 asthe result of congressional legislation called the Enabling Act whichwas established "to provide aviation education and training espe-cially to its senior and cadet members."With the addition of young men and women to Civil Air Patrol camea new spirit to communities throughout the country. It was anesprit of youth and their elders, organized and trained together asa civilian corps dedicated to civic responsibilit ies.Consistent with previous years, 1960 was fraught with occasionswhen CAP was summoned to help other agencies, military and civil-ian.Hurricane Donna, the nation's most violent storm in 75 years, pro-vided perhaps the best example of CAP teamwork, not only withinits own organization, but within communities themselves and withCivil Defense and other agencies. Cadets of Civil Air Patrol, fromKey West up the eastern seaboard to Maine, manned CAP radionets and relayed messages to and from disaster areas. Red Crossand Civil Defense agencies in some cases used CAP facilities to reach8

their own headquarters. Squadrons supplied power with their mobileemergency generators to hospitals, and in one farm area, to com-munity freezers where thousands of dollars worth of food was savedfrom spoiling.Vaccine was flown in a CAP plane to Naples, Florida, in the heart ofstorm devastation. Many aircraft were damaged by the hurricanebut advance use of available shelter kept some planes operablefor use immediately after the blow had passed. They searched formany hours in some areas, looking for bodies and valuable equip-ment that had been set adrift. Air reconnaissance helped those on theground to find downed power lines and debris. Police departments,sheriffs' offices, Civil Defense, National Guard, Red Cross and CAPworked around the clock to right the topsy-turvy havoc naturewrought.The traditional search and rescue segment of Civil Air Patrol's over-all mission of service showed a continuing increase during 1960 innumber of flights and time spent in the air. These statistics includeone search for a single plane that involved 16 CAP state wings. Thesearch was for a Cessna 182, flown by a prominent Oklahoma Citybusinessman who left Teterboro, N.J., airport for home withoutfiling a flight plan. The availability of CAP flying units in the vast areagave them the lion's share of the ten-day search.Scores of spectacular incidents of search and rescue on the groundand in the air are on record for the year, too voluminous for listingin this report.Civil Air Patrol flew 9,873 sorties for a total of 20,072 hours in sup-port of USAF-authorized search and rescue and domestic emergencymissions. Of these hours, 2,130 were flown by the Alaska Wing. TheCAP was credited with 60 per cent of all flying hours expended onsearch and rescue and domestic emergency missions coordinated byContinental Air Command during 1960. The following table showsthe increasing participation by CAP in this humanitarian effort:

Fifty wing effectiveness tests were conducted by USAF during theyear to measure CAP's capabilities in search and rescue, CivilDefense, and domestic emergencies. A total of 2,301 sorties and3,954 hours were flown in the conduct of these effectiveness tests.Participating were approximately 4,070 senior members and 3,050cadets.

SUMMER WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS

1956 1957 1958 1959 1960

OSPACE EDUCATION EXPANDSThe Office of Aerospace Education at national headquarters expandedits staff and facilities during the year. It now occupies a new facilityknown as the Aerospace Education Center, which houses theDCS/ Aerospace Education and his administrative staff, the Editorialand Curriculum Division with the headquarters library, the Audio-Visual Division, and the Civil Air Patrol Bookstore.Air Force-Civil Air Patrol cooperated with 60 colleges and uni-versities (48 in 1959) in sponsoring Aerospace Education Work-shops throughout the United States during 1960. Assistance in-cluded planning, airlift for orientation tours, field trips, AFROTCofficer assignments, instruction, and program development. Morethan 3,000 teachers returned to the classroom from these workshopswith a background in aerospace education along with ways andmeans of enriching classroom instruction with aerospace materialsand activities. Thousands of youngsters are reaping the benefits ofteaching for their futures in a world dominated by aerospace activi-ties.The number of schools conducting an elective aerospace educationcourse resulting from CAP-USAF efforts increased to more than 500schools in 1960.The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schoolsapproved the Civil Air Patrol aerospace education program for usein the public schools. The recognition by the North Central Asso-ciation brings added prestige amongst education leaders for theCAP aerospace education program.WATCAP, the World Air Tour, Civil Air Patrol, was successfully com-pleted during 1960. WATCAP was a traveling aerospace educationworkshop in action, sponsored by Mankato State College, Minn., incooperation with Civil Air Patrol. WATCAP was planned to examinethe leading educational, cultural, religious, and aviation centers ofthe world. Activities varied from briefings on aviation activities ineach country by the U. S. Air Attache, visits to aero clubs, and inspec-tion of local schools, to a briefing at NATO Headquarters in Paris.The new publication AEROSPACE AGE SCIENCE, a handbook forteachers, was published and made widely available to schools. Thebook titled THE DAWNING SPACE AGE was supplemented by aninstructor guide, workbook, and audio-visual guide as teaching aids.10

Band. The 1960 lACE visits while in the various states werefinanced by the Civil Air Patrol corporation and with donationsfrom industry and public-minded individuals. Expenses of U. S.members, while visiting in the overseas countries, were borneby the sponsoring foreign agency. The cost of commercial andMATS air travel, TDY and per diem costs for the Air Force escortofficers was borne by the U. S. Air Force. The lACE was held thelast two weeks of July through the first two weeks of August.The CAP host wings for the 1960 foreign exchange were:

Chile did not participate as originally scheduled due to theearthquake devastation in their country.

* Peru agreed to accept the cadets originally scheduled to visit Chile and, inturn, sent two groups to the United States.

National Drill Competition. The ten winning drill teams, one fromeach of the eight regions, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, competedfor honors at the U. S. Air Force Academy, 1960. The teamswere airlifted to Colorado Springs by the Air Force. Ten teams,totaling 250 cadets, competed. The first place winner of thecompetition was the girls' drill team representing the Colo-rado Wing. The Hawaii drill team won second place andanother girls' drill team from the Ohio Wing placed third.

Jet Orientation Course. This course conducted at Perrin Air ForceBase, Texas, August 7-13, 1960 provided one week of academic

and flying training in jet aircraft. One male honor cadet fromeach of the 52 wings was selected to attend this course. Mostof the CAP members attending this course were flown t oPerrin AFB in USAF aircraft. The only cost to the Civil AirPatrol members was a charge for meals taken in the Air Forcedining halls.

Jet Age Orientation Course. The Jet Age Orientation Course forgirl cadets was held August 21-27, 1960 at Maxwell Air ForceBase, Alabama. One girl honor cadet selected from each ofthe 52 wings learned about the medical, administrative, per-sonnel and technical fields open to women in aviation and theAir Force. They also made orientation flights in MATS aircraftand Air Force jet trainers. In this course, as in the male JetOrientation Course, all expense with the exception of partici-pants' meals was borne by the U. S. Air Force.

Summer Encampments. During the 1960 Summer EncampmentProgram, 41 U. S. Air Force bases hosted 47 separate summerencampments for 7,107 CAP members, most of whom wereprovided air transportation to and from the encampments. Thisairlift was supported by U. S. Air Force aircraft.

Regional Exchanges. Annually, 104 female cadets participate inan interregional exchange, with the Air Force providing the air-lift, and in some cases they visit local Air Force bases. TheAir Force also provides for special cadet visits to the AirMuseum, the Air Academy, and to various Air Force basesduring the year to keep the cadets advised on life in the AirForce, career opportunities available, background for aviationeducation and a reward for outstanding work. Numerousorientation flights are conducted each year for CAP units,depending upon availability of Air Force base facilities.

Certificates of Proficiency. In 1960, 2,433 Certificates of Pro-ficiency were awarded to CAP members. This is 276 certificatesless than were issued in 1959. This certificate denotes suc-cessful completion of a comprehensive training program cover-ing a wide range of subjects from military drill to "Problemsin Air Power," as they relate to our way of life in the aerospaceage. The USAF has recognized the value of the CAP trainingto the extent of granting certain priorities to qualified CAPmembers. Holders of a Certificate of Proficiency are eligible toenlist in the Air Force or the Air National Guard as an AirmanThird Class. In AFROTC units, where qualified applicantsexceed the quota, CAP members holding a Certificate of Pro-ficiency will receive priority consideration if they are as wellqualified as other applicants. Currently, female CAP cadetsmay apply for USAF Officers Candidate School and the Cer-tificate of Proficiency may be used in lieu of two years of collegeproviding the applicant meets all other requirements.

RAD 0 NET NEARLY 14,000 STATIONSA new high frequency was assigned to the AF-CAP Liaison Officer net.This action has improved radio communications to the point wheredaily contacts are made between Headquarters CAP-USAF and allregional liaison offices. The Air Force provides nine Philco com-munications advisors and airman radio operators to give technicaladvice and assistance to the CAP communications program.The number of licensed CAP radio stations increased from 13,212to a total of 13,817. Land stations increased from 3,808 to 4,356;mobile stations, from 8,217 to 8,294; and aircraft stations decreasedfrom 1,187 to 1,167. An average of 250 license applications aremade each month.

Civil Air Patrol received from Department of Defense excess stocksproperty with an original acquisition cost totaling $6,297,324.54and from DOD surplus stocks $6,179,892.35 for a grand total of$12,477,216.89. Of this total, $3,137,041.55 was received fromthe Army, $807,712.65 from the Navy and $8,532,462.69 from theAir Force.A total of 9,584 line items of property were received. They were 572vehicles of various types, 37 aircraft (10 - L-20's and 27-C-45's), office machines, equipment and supplies, communicationsequipment, clothing and other miscellaneous supplies.Requests made for excess and surplus property totaled 2,688, and1,940 of these were honored. The remaining 748 were canceleddue to withdrawal of property or prior allocation to other agencies.Property disposed of either by sale, surveyor turn-in to a militarydisposal agency numbered 1,127 line items. Its estimated acquisi-tion value was $1,097,734.96. This included 134 vehicles and 20aircraft and other items unusable to the CAP.As of December 31, 1960, there were 927 corporate-owned aircraft.14

Fifteen requests were submitted to the appropriate District Engineer,U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, acquiring Department of Defensereal estate for Civil Air Patrol.Stringent controls on the use of Civil Air Patrol vehicles were pub-lished in a change to CAP Regulation 77-1. In essence, it stipulatesthat only qualified senior members or cadets, accompanied by aqualified senior member, are authorized to operate CAP vehicles.With the reorganization of the liaison structure effective July 1, 1960,authorization has been received for the assignment of a supplyofficer and a noncommissioned officer in each region. With theseadditional people, technical assistance to CAP members will bemore readily available and emphasis will be placed on the disposalof unusable property by CAP.

Y PROGRAM GAINSThe Office of Safety integrated flying and ground safety programs in1960. In order to concentrate effort, however, flying safety officersand ground safety officers continue to operate as entities and sep-arate newsletters are sent to units. Although there is a definite re-duction in accident frequency, the exact amount cannot be deter-mined accurately due to the continued unreliability of accident andflying time reporting. Four safety regulations and a simplified report-ing system were developed to increase the effectiveness of theaccident prevention program.Federal, state, and private agencies continue to assist CAP in itsaccident prevention efforts. Civil Aeronautics Board has authorizedCAP participation in its investigations of CAP aircraft accidents.The first national CAP Aviation Safety Seminar was planned forMarch 1961 in cooperation with the Flight Safety Foundation undera grant from the Link Foundation.An annual rotating award, the Paul Turner Trophy, was establishedthis year for meritorius achievements in accident prevention andwill be awarded at this seminar.

MORE CH PLAINS JOINAn extensive visitation program by the national chaplain to local areachaplain conferences during the year was effective. Twenty-fiveseparate local area conferences were held throughout the 52 wingswith an approximate increase of 50% in attendance over the oldregional chaplain conference approach. This close contact with theworking elements within the CAP chaplaincy by the office of thenational chaplain was acclaimed as being of practical value inoffering guidance and a more complete understanding of the over-allchaplain program.The "CAP Chaplain Applicant Kit," a concise manual outlining pro-cedures for appointment as a CAP chaplain, was prepared anddistributed to the field. This kit has accomplished two objectives.It has streamlined application procedures and established a work-able quality control policy.Administrative procedures and suspense control in the office of thenational chaplain have been carefully studied and improved, result-ing in more efficient processing of chaplain reports and rosters. Arealistic and accurate appraisal of the CAP chaplain program cannow be made.During 1960 there was a 10.6% increase of appointed chaplainsover 1959. CAP chaplains conducted 1,849 religious services with32,506 persons attending, gave 3,425 character and citizenshiplectures to 54,936 people and attended 7,400 meetings. They gave1,735 public address lectures to 67,671 persons about Civil AirPatrol, showed 563 films, held 6,296 consultations for 6,759 per-sons, made 1,923 visits to CAP units and members' homes, con-tacting 6,117 CAP members and prospective members.

Alabama,which supported its wing with $30,000 a year for 1957 through1959, withdrew, and West Virginia was added to the roster, providing$7,500 for one year.This money is used by CAP to defray, within the United States andPuerto Rico, a portion of the costs of administration, aerospaceeducation, training programs, aircraft maintenance and repair andfor the purchase of radio and mobile equipment.
