WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 75 Division of Civil Aeronautics Administration War Training Service C. H. Anderson, Chairman C. A. A. War Training Service For Naval Aviation Cadets The present C. A. A. War Training Service Program for Naval Aviation Cadets is an outgrowth of the former Civilian Pilot Training Program. In the year 1939, with the inauguration of Civilian Pilot Training for civilians throughout the United States, Weber College was designated as one of the institutions selected to provide this training. Upon the outbreak of the war there was an urgent demand on the part of both the Navy and the Army for the training of large numbers of army cadets, army service pilots, and naval aviation cadets. Both Army and Navy entered into a contract with the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and in June, 1942, these organizations launched a full-time training program. In the latter part of 1942, when the Army and Navy named certain colleges for army trainees and certain other colleges for navy trainees, Weber College became a center for the training of Naval Aviation Cadets, and in the early part of 1943, when it was decided to concentrate training in fewer and larger centers, Weber College was again selected. The first allotment of Naval Aviation Cadets under this enlarged and concentrated program consisted of 100 cadets, an allotment which has been increased to 150 and is still subject to further increase. The Cadets now assigned to Weber College have already taken a three-months' flight preparatory course at San Luis Obispo, this former training necessitating the giving of more advanced work than that in the preceding programs of the College. |
