From the time that the Wright brothers first flew their original plane at Kittyhawk - the Army has kept pace with aviation until today the U. S. Army Air Force is the greatest organization of its kind in the world. In two wars and the intervening years of peace, from the days of the Lafayette Escadrelle and the 'Hat in . the . Ring" circus to the Imortal runs over Ploseti, Marienburg, and Tokyo. They have outflown the enemy and helped to assure final victory. They have contributed, much to man's knowledge In the , air, and for that reason they are proud men. Today, the Blue and Gold of Air Force Wings is blazoned across the airways of the globe wherever American soldiers stand guard in the ceaseless vigil of peace. No more do the armadas of de struction and retribution drone ' across the skies. In their place flies the observation and patrol squadron, the transport planes and ' hospital planes.
