GEN. HUNTER BLAMED
FOR jim CROW AGAINST
NEGRO FLYERS

WASHINGTON, May % (ANP) |
Right or wrong, the woes which
have beset Negro flight officers at
Selfridge Field, WATERFORD airbase
and more lately the bombardiers
of Goldman and Freeman fields, are
being traced to the doorstep Of Maj
Gen. Frank O'Driscoll Hunter,
commanding general for the first
army air force.
The Associated Negro Press has
attempted to probe into some of
the background of the general, a
product of Savannah, Ca, but not
of West Point Military academy,
to answer some of the curiosity
about the man.
Mai. Gen. Hunter came up
through the ranks to the position he
now holds. His permanent rank is
that of lieutenant colonel to which
he was elevated October 9, 1910.
He went to France during World
War l and after month of front
line flying, became deputy flight
commander with the 103rd squad
ron and served for seven months at
the front as a pursuit pilot. He re-
turned to the United States in Feb
ruary, 1919, credited with Destroy
ing eight enemy planes, thus quail
flying as an ace. He has been award
ed the Distinguished Service Cross
for the first of these.
Apart from the DISC itself Hun
ter was awarded four Oak Leaf
clusters, the Purple Heart in 1913,
and in 1914 he received the Distin-
guished Service medal and the Dis
tinguished Flying cross.
His army career in the years be-
tween the wars was not particular
spectacular. He moved around from
Fort Sill in Oklahoma to Michigan,
Pennsylvania, California, Panama
Canal Zone, Louisiana, Alabama,
London, Florida, Washington and
new New York. He assumed his
current duties in September, 1943.
The 332nd Fighter group was Or
ganized November, 1943, at Self
ridge Field, Mich, a part of the
first army air force. Col. William
T. Colman, who shot his Negro
chauffeur, was commanding officer
of the base. He was reduced to the
rank Of captain and transferred
from the post as a result. He is
now out of the army.
The next base commander was

emily was an easy-going sort of in
