A MESSAGE FROM OUR COMMANDER

Greetings to my fellow members,

If you get an opportunity, ask anyone about the excitement at the last staff weekend at

Wing Headquarters. It was almost electric! The following interviews and meetings were held;

Cadet Leadership School, Powered Flight Academy, Glider Academy, Special Activities Selection

Board, Ranger Staff Meeting and Encampment Staff Interviews. The competition was exhausting -

the numbers staggering and the test scores in aviation beginning to soar! We estimate, that over

200 CAP members participated in some CAP process that weekend.

I wish I could guarantee each of you your desired activity. This is not feasible. Next year it

is my hope that each unit will go through a self inspection two weeks before the boards, double

checking uniforms and ribbons. Making sure hair is regulation and uniforms are clean and proper-ly pressed. I have seen remarkable changes in the uniform appearance of our cadets across the

Commonwealth. While said to be in uniform, I no longer see costumes credited to the PA Wing.

This in no way indicates we are perfect but it does mean we are on the way to success.

Speaking of success; Justin Ogden and Roy Long have started new units in Central PA.

Our own Arnie Andresen has found two new schools to add to the newly renamed School

Enrichment Program. Schools in Mansfield and Montoursville, will be organizing by the end of

the month. These schools will be strongly supported by Home Schooled Cadets from the

Williamsport area squadron. (Please let Wing know if you have any spare blue uniforms as the

schools are in desperate need for uniforms.)

Be sure to review all the good material in the recent CAP National VOLUNTEER

Magazine. PA Wing leads the way again!We recently assigned a van to the new units in Central PA to share and we have made com-

mitments to move a van that was not being utilized properly, to another unit. Ebay has come to the

CAP with the recent online purchase by PA Wing, of a 15 passenger van from the online auction

process. This van will be assigned in the near future.

In conclusion of this message, let us all continue to concentrate on having a safe environ-

ment for our cadets and our seniors to work in. Safety is our #1 mission; we cannot help anyone if

we ourselves are injured.

Very Respectfully,

M. Allen Applebaum, Colonel, CAP

Commander

CAP MISSIONS 3

Butler County, Pennsylvania:

Members of the Butler Composite Squadron 712 and the Lawrence County Composite Squadron 123, pro-

vided overnight security for an accident scene where a twin engine aircraft traveled beyond the runway at the

Butler Airport and crashed through an object and fencing.Butler-based Police have released the identities of the four people from Virginia who were on board the air

ambulance. They are 62-year-old pilot Stephen T. White of Warrenton, 42-year-old co-pilot Angela Aman of

Stephens City, 43-year-old flight therapist Kerry Dudley and 50-year-old flight nurse Vicki Carr, both of

Winchester.

Preliminary investigative reports indicate that the co-pilot was at the controls during the scheduled landing.

Reported by indsideButlerCounty.com, there was no patient on board when the plane went down. All four

on board the plane were treated for minor injuries at Butler Memorial Hospital and released.

"While the officials from the Federal Aviation Administration are continuing their investigation, we are pro

viding security. The temperature dropped down in the teens overnight. It was very cold for our team. I am

awaiting official word that we can release our troops," said Major Catherine Flick, Civil Air Patrol's IncidentCommander for this mission.

CAP MEMBER STORIES4

WAR ON TERROR TOUCHES GROUP 1, SQUADRON 603 SENIOR MEMBERS

Not long ago, Squadron 603s past Moral Leadership Officer, 1Lt Marsha Ellis, initiated a cadet letter writing

campaign for military service personnel around the world

who are involved in our Nations war on terror. Current

Moral Leadership Officer, 1Lt Mike Lonto, continues theletter writing campaign with renewed emphasis as two

Squadron 603 senior members are deployed to trouble

spots in the Middle East. Civil Air Patrol Captains James

Knights and Stan Newhard will soon be receiving letters

and well wishes from Golden Triangle Composite

Squadron 603.

Capt James Knights, Group 1 Safety Officer, and active

member of Squadron 603 with son C/2Lt Patrick Knights,

joins Capt Stan Newhard ( TSgt USAFR ) in the war on

terror. While active with Squadron 603, Capt Newhard

was responsible for training squadron color guard cadetswho won 3rd place honors at the CAP National

Competition in Washington, D.C. Capt Newhard is cur-

rently stationed with the U.S. Air Force in Qatar, and

hopefully will soon be returning to the United States.

Early in January 2007, Capt Jim Knights was deployed in his civilian capacity to Baghdad, Iraq. Capt Knigh

is on a three-month tour of duty and looks forward to a mid-April homecoming. Recently Jim wrote Squadron

603 Commander Maj Bob Frost and requested information about his deployment be shared with squadron mem

bers, Group 1, and all others in the PA Wing.

Jims thirty-eight hour flight took him from Dulles Airport, Virginia, to Shannon, Ireland, and then on to

Bucharest, Romania, before landing in Doha. From there, a crowded C-130 aircraft took him to Baghdad whe

his first nights stay was in a muddy tent complex he describes as being straight out of the TV series M*A*S*H

Capt Knights work schedule is extreme but necessary. Workdays run from 12 to 14 hours, seven days a week

for ninety days straight give or take a few weeks to train his replacement. He justifies the long hours with no

days off by simply saying, The mission is too important and everyone here is serious about the work.

In Capt Knights most recent correspondence to Maj Frost, he closed his letter with these important words to

Group 1 and Squadron 603 members:

I would like you all to understand that the men and women with whom I am working are literally on the fron

lines in the war on terrorism. Every day we are here makes those of you at home that much safer. Its better to

fight terrorism over here than in Coraopolis, Pittsburgh, or Beaver County. You should all be very proud of ou

countrys men and women in uniform and you should never doubt the mission.(Signed: Captain Jim Knights, Semper vigilans from Iraq)

Capt Jim Knights and Capt Stan Newhard can look forward to future letters from Squadron 603 members wis

ing them both a speedy and safe return to The United States. Semper Vigilans gentlemen, and thank you for

your service to our country.

Tuskegee Airmen Speaks at Group IV Fifth Tuesday Event

The first of the 2007 series of Aerospace Education events held by Group IV honored the pilots who

broke the racial barrier in the Army Air Corps and paved the way for desegregation in the U.S. To celebrate

this unique part of history and aviation, Group IV arranged for Dr. Eugene J. Richardson, Jr. to address CAP

members, families, friends and guests.

Red Tail Angels: The Tuskegee Airmen of World War TwoBy, Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Kaela Rose Jacobs

In the 21st century, we are accustomed to the United States military as a collaboration of people fromvaried ethnic backgrounds. In todays military, men and women of all ethnic backgrounds work side by side.

Incredibly, it was only 58 years ago that the United States military was de-segregated. Prior to 1948, African

Americans were not recognized as valid members of the U.S. militarythe Tuskegee Airmen were pioneers i

the Civil Rights/military de-segregation movement.

The story of the Tuskegee Airmen begins in the 1880s in Macon County, Alabama. Political leaders in

Macon County founded a school for blacks, and an African-American teacher, Booker T. Washington, was cho

sen to manage the school. In 1888, Tuskegee Negro Normal Institute opened in a small shanty building in the

town of Tuskegee, Alabama. Tuskegee Institute focused on practical education such as carpentry. Soon, Mr.

Washington secured land for the school, and the students built the campus.

The Tuskegee Institute was a successful enterprise. It provided African-Americans with practical educa

tion, and Southern whites were pleased with Booker Washingtons conservative leadership. Grant money frompoliticians and organizations enabled the school to continue.

Tuskegee Institute underwent no major changes until the late 1930s, when the German National Socialist Par

began to take precedence in world issues. In 1939, the United Sates government passed the Civilian Pilot

Training (CPT) act, which allowed for civilians to be trained as pilots in preparedness for a national emergenc

CPT was available for blacks as well as whites, and Tuskegee Institute was one of the African-American col-

leges chosen to offer preliminary CPT instruction. In July of 1940, the Civilian Aeronautics Association (CAA

certified Tuskegee Institute for advanced flight training as well as primary courses.

Prior to World War Two, African-Americans were prohibited from becoming pilots for the United Stat

military, for many Americans believed that blacks were incapable of flying airplanes. As civil rights organiza-

tions and the black media protested against this discrimination, the government relented and established anexperimental program for training black pilots. Tuskegee Institute was chosen for the experiment, because of

Civilian Pilot Training program and a climate that allowed flying year-round.

The United States Army Air Corps instituted the Tuskegee Experiment on July 19, 1941. Black stu-

dents, most with college experience, began primary training at Tuskegees Moton Field. The cadets then com-

pleted combat flight training at Tuskegee Army Air Field (TAAF), flying in distinctive P-40 Warhawk aircraft

with red vertical stabilizers. The first class, which included U. S. Military Academy graduate Captain Benjam

O. Davis and four second lieutenants, graduated on March 7, 1942. These five TAAF graduates were the first

African-Americans in history to earn United States Army Air Corps silver pilot wings. By 1946, when the

Tuskegee program ended, 992 pilots had graduated from TAAF; 450 of these pilots flew in missions overseas

during World War Two.

Tuskegee enlisted staff trained as mechanics, armament specialists, radio technicians, parachute riggers

control tower operators, policemen, and secretaries. Over 10,000 workers, including civilians, backed the fligh

crew. Without dedicated Americans supporting the Tuskegee Airmen, the pilots never would have accomplish

success during the Tuskegee flight program.

The Tuskegee pilot graduates became part of the 99th Pursuit Squadron. In May of 1942, the squadron

was activated and renamed the 99th Fighter Squadron, and Colonel Benjamin Davis became its commander. I

early 1943, the 99th joined the 33rd Fighter Group in Tunisia. The Tuskegee Airmen flew their first mission o

June 2, 1943, at Pantelleria Island, which lay between North Africa and Sicily.

(Story continued on page 8.)

Red Tail Angels: The Tuskegee Airmen of World War Two continued

During the 99th Fighter Squadrons attachment to the 33rd Fighter Group, the Tuskegee Airmen encoun

tered their first major racial discrimination incident. The commander of the 33rd Fighter Group believed thatblacks were incapable of being successful pilots. In retaliation against the 99th Fighter Squadron, he reported

beliefs to the U. S. Army Air Corps, which subsequently launched an investigation. Col. Davis testified on

behalf of the Tuskegee Airmen and attempted to convince the Air Corps that black pilots were just as compete

in flying and fighting as white pilots were. Overall, the Tuskegee Airmen had an outstanding combat record;

they had not lost any crew during combat, and furthermore, black pilots flew more missions than most white

pilots because they had no imposed limits. Finally, Col. Daviss testimony convinced the Air Corps that the

Tuskegee Airmen should remain in combat.

The 99th Fighter Squadron was not the only black squadron fighting in World War Two. Other branche

of the Tuskegee Airmen included the 477th Bombardment Group and three other fighter squadrons, the 100th,

301st, and 302nd. These fighter squadrons joined with the 99th to become the 332nd Fighter Group, and Col.

Davis became its commander in September 1943. The 332nd was deployed to Southern Italy in January 1944.They began flying bomber escort missions in February 1944. On March 24, 1945, Col. Davis led the 332nd

Fighter Group on the infamous 1,600 mile round trip bomber escort mission to Berlin. Before the Berlin Escor

Allied forces had downed only two enemy jets, and during this mission, Tuskegee Airmen downed three more

jets and never lost a bomber. The Berlin Escort mission earned them a Distinguished Unit Citation; the Germa

called them Schwartze Vogelmenschen (Black Birdmen), and Americans called the m Red Tail Angels.

Throughout the war, the Tuskegee Airmen in the United States and overseas served proudly despite

racism and segregation. The 477th Bombardment Group, which was never deployed due to the end of the war

trained at Selfridge Field, Michigan, as bomber crew. The officers of the 477th were denied access to the

Selfridge Field officers club because of their skin color, and hence they were moved to Godman Field,

Kentucky, where Col. Davis took command of the 477th in April 1945. Again, unequal treatment and oppositi

to the black officers forced the group to transfer to Freeman Field, Indiana. In a final historical incident, mem-

bers of the 477th entered the Freeman Field officers club against orders. 103 black officers were arrested for

insubordination. Their military files bore record of offense for 50 years, until August 12, 1995, when their

records were cleared. Following the Freeman Field episode, the 477th Bombardment Group moved to

Lockbourne Army Air Base, Ohio, in 1946, and the 332nd Fighter Group became the 332nd Fighter Wing at

Lockbourne.

By the end of the war, the Tuskegee Airmen had flown four different types of combat aircraft. They

trained in and flew P-40 Warhawks for combat in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy until July 1944. The pilots lat

flew, respectively, P-39 Cobras, P-47 Thunderbolts, and lastly P-51 Mustangs. The Tuskegee Airmens comba

record was superlative. They never lost a bomber they escorted, and they destroyed a total of 261 enemy air-

craft, while only 66 of the pilots were ever killed in action.World War Two was over, but African-American military personnel had not yet won their battle. In

September 1947, The United States Army Air Corps separated from the Army and became the United States A

Force. The Tuskegee Airmen were now members of the newly formed Air Force. The next year, in 1948,

President Harry Truman issued Executive Order 9981, which called for the de-segregation of the armed forces

and equal treatment and opportunity for military members of all races. Though it would take decades for

African-Americans in the military to be free from discrimination, the initial battle had at last succeeded with

President Trumans order. The Tuskegee Experiment had proved that black Americans could fly just as well as

whites, and the Tuskegee Airmen are remembered today as the nations pioneers for Civil Rights in the militar
