Future Negro Aviation will Depend
Upon what We as Negroes Do Now
The Editor, Omaha Guide: (
2420 Grant Street,
Dccu■ Sirs
Leadership among Negroes in the
national campaign tor re-enactment
of the Civilian Pilot Training legisla
tion has afllen upon us as the sole
Negro representative in the National
Aviation Trades Association. If the
effort is successful, participation in
and to a greater extent than formerly
will depend to a major extent upon
what we as Negroes do now.
Legislative consideration on this
subject is before Congress now. HR.
40T9 and S-1432, companion bills, are
before the House and Senate in ses
sion at Washington. Unless we are
successful in obtaining the passing of
legislation which would enable the
continuation of the Civilian Pilot
Training Act, June 30, 1944 will see
the end of such training under gov
ernment sponsorship and subsidy.
Experience in the field of aviation
leads us to believe that passing of this
legisla! is even imeortant to the Ne
gro than any other group in the coun
try. Without impetus furnished by
the expiring Civilian Pilot Act N’e
gries would not now' be engaged in
the flight training of Military pilots
in the Air Corps nor would they be
engaged in non-flying capacities. Fur
ther, we serioo ;ly doubt that the 99th
Pursuit Squadron and other fighting
squadsons comprised of Negroes
would be distinguishing themselves in
the war theatres. Certainly our pro
