Price: $250.00
During WWI, a pilot shortage in the United States became apparent. In response the War Department and U.S. Army formed the Aviation Cadet Training Program, installing aviation training schools at six universities across the country. This program at Ohio State appears to have consisted of 8 weeks of classes with training in military drill, discipline, and technical instruction, with an emphasis on aviation. Curriculum from the program formed the basis for the aeronautical engineering courses later taught at OSU. A scarce set of materials from an early instructional program of military aviation training and education, one that would eventually become the US Air Force.
