For the last three years, they

The coastal patrols, organic
ed by the CAP early in 1912 as
a 90-day experimental service,
played such an important role
in combating tn e submarine
menace that on April 20, 1943,
they were taken over from the
office of civilian defense and
formed into an auxiliary arm of
the Army Air Forces.

In the beginning, however,

frontier of 1900 miles from Hal
flax to the Florida Keys there
were only handful of SUBJ
chasers left over from World

blimps and less than a dozen

While the Nazis we're striking
hard against American shipping
lanes to win the war quickly
and crack American morale, the
CAP began coastal patrol work
that lasted more than a year,
and extended their bases from
Canada to Tampico. Mexico.
Army and Navy air forces
drew off the younger pilots,
leaving CAP pilots whose av-
erage age was 38. They were
joined by doctors, nurses, me-
chanics, radio operator, an d
photographers who made up
complete patrol units.

shortages were handicaps at
first. In the early days elderly
civilian volunteers arranged
their vacations after receiving
emergency calls which read,

there'll be no landing field till

One coastal patrol outfit at a
new base along the vulnerable
North Carolina Coast could not
take off because they had no
life preservers, regulation
equipment. Seven dead Germans
in lifebelts washed up on the
beach one night and the next
day the patrols took off fully
equipped.
With the surrender of their
anti submarine patrol system,
the Flying minute men" will
take over Army assignments
such as forest fire patro Is,
searching for lost planes, main
tanning liaison patrols, taking
emergency relief to flood and
disaster areas, and flying prac-
