The Army Air Forces' Aviation Cadet Training Pro gram gives you that chance. It cannot be duplicated anywhere at any price. Leader in new things for avia tion in jet and rocket propulsion, far-ranging heavy aircraft, improved navigation facilities, and many other of the latest developments in a fast-moving field the AAF can help you begin a brilliant future. The Air Forces have reopened Aviation Cadet training to qualified civilians 18 to 26V& years of age. Men selected for training as pilots under the terms of the program must be single and have had at least two years of college education, or the equivalent, in an accredited institution. Upon successful completion of the course, graduates will be commissioned Second Lieu tenants, Army of the United States, and as signed to flying duty with the Army Air Forces. Reactivation of the Aviation Cadet program is typical of the AAF's continuing effort to provide selected young men every opportunity to earn advancement. Cadets who win their wings as today's pilots will be the same kind of men who, in wartime, built and manned the world's mightiest air arm. Make your plans now to get in at the start ! By apply ing immediately after graduation, you can take your qualifying examinations and enter the Julv 1st class, or if you want a summer vacation you can take your examinations now and be ready to enter the class beginning October 15th.
