history. After failing his final check
flight q cader was ordered to appear
before board of officers known as
the "Benzine Board" If he was re-
porting for misconduct or academic
deficiency there was still some slight
hope OF beating the board, but II It
was for inability to fly, the decision
OF "washout'' was foregone con-
cIusion.
The washing out for our class
commenced in earnest with the ap,
proach of solo flights and the re-
turns from our examinations.
was fortunate enough to have
passed them and my previous fly
ing experience kept me from worry
ing on any account during the first
part of our training.
No Disgrace
There was no disgrace in washing
t. It simply meant in the major
ity of cases, that the cadet was not
especially adapted to flying ana ne
was snt back to his point OF en-
listment with an honorable discharge
and the advice to take up some
other form OF occupation.
With the washing out process our
barracks became less congested. 1t
was not unusual to see the fellows
on both sides pack up and cheer
fully depart for destinations In dif'
ferent corners of the United states.
After q few weeks there would be
one bunk standing where eight had
been--tIlis in some part OF the bar
racks on which the "Benzine Board
had fallen hardest. In another case
an entire bay was washed out ana
left entirely vacant. We never
knew who would be next to go, and
we could only continue to plug
along as best we could with our fly
ing and study a little harder on our
ground school work while we waited
for the almos1 weekly list Of wash
outs to be published on our bulletin
board. We were in the full swing
OF cadet life ana under the constant
apprehension which accompanies It.
The Ultimate Goal
Along with our trial and worries
went the fascination of flying to-
eether with the priceless goal before
us of graduation with an Air Serv-
ice commission. The wings of the
service would be for those OF US
who were able to survive the rigid
training and discipline of a year
in the United States Army flying
schools.
Always there was something new
to look forward to. The start OF
actual flying; the first solo; learn
ing various stunts and maneuvers;
tra naitiona from Jennies to faster
and quicker ships; and finally our
transfer to Kelly Field, the alma
mater Of Army filters.
The Army Air Service was an
exacting instructor. There was
no favoritism shown and no amount
of politics could keep a cadet from
being washed out il he tell down
In flying. As a result, only small
per cent OF those entering Brooks
ever graduate from Kelly. In our
class of 1O4, 33 finished their pri-
vate training and only Is of us re.
ceived our wings. This appears on

Springtime streamed in through
the open windows. The green fields
of Georgia were baskipg in the sum
shine. Somewhere a bird was trill-
ing. It was a day to be happy.
But the pale woman at the table
sighed and pushed away her plate.
Nothing tasted right. She couldn't
eat much. She couldn't sleep well,
either. She was SO weak, 1t was
hard to do her work. When the baby
cried, she wanted to cry, too.
She had not been well for four
years. Her husband watched her
with q mans helpless expression.
But his mother knew a remedy.
