NAM Head Says

ernment became aware of Smiths engineering and flying ability and twice offered him huge contract to take charge of their army avia- tion. It would have put AID. on easy streets but he turned it down to become an Army pilot on S20O a month He became our lead ing test pilot.
 From that time on, however, ADS life became a series of pc riods spent in the Army punctu- ated by fractures. He pioneered in almost every phase of aviation from flying the first plane equipped w tn radio, making a round trip, cross-country plane flight .. the nations first, membership in the first Northwest Forest Fire Patrol to forming his own airline, Scenic Airways and eventually, becoming a top-fight executive for IVA. In 1940, he trained the 18th Bombard- ment Group which distinguished it. self against the Japanese and be- came the most decorated group in t,,.e AAF. In 1941, he was put in charge of operations for four engine bomber training school, and a bombardier training school. In 1912, as a Colonel, he was sent by General Arnold to handle a very difficult operations job in the North Atlantic. In 1943, he built field on a volcanic island under the noses of the enemy and was promoted to Brigadier General and
 returned to flying status.
 These are just a few of the ac- complishments that have given General A. D. Smith good, firm
 hold on the title of the Army's Number One Smith.

 The C-men's band, groovy as ever, has reached new heights ever since S/Sgt. Ford and his curved reed instrument ere added. Everyone gets into the Swing" of things and the dance floor is jammed until the dulcet tones of "Taps" echo through the area.
