Activated at Mitchel AFB, N.Y.,
on Dec. 1, 1948, CONAC and its
headquarters remained there until
April 1961 when it moved lo its
present location, Robins AFB, Ga.
The e o m m a n d ' s activation
grew out of the need for
stronger air defense and a desire to create an effective, efﬁcient Air Force Reserve that
would serve in time of emergency, foreign or domestic, lie
primary missions were the air
defense of the U.S., tactical air
support of ground forces, the
Reserve Ofﬁcer Training Program and the Air Reserve
Forces.
Over the years, changing military needs have altered the original CONAC mission. But the central concept of using Reservists to
augment the regular armed forces
remains the same today and that
concept now is stronger than ever.
The dedication of Air Force Reservists and CONAC's achievements over the last 17 years are
the base of its future. Advancements in the Aerospace Age may
bring changes in the mission of
the Continental Air Command, but
all Americans can be assured ~hat
the Air Force Reserve is--and always will be--"Ready Now."

det program does work and have
attained the coveted "Spaatz
Award" to prove it.
Since the cadet program became
operational in mid-1964, ﬁve cadets
have completed all requirements
to earn this award.
Those cadets who have earned
the award are:
Douglas C. Roach, presently on
active duty with the United States
Air Force and the only man ever
to earn the Falcon Award.
Robert L. Gray, a physics major
at the University of California.
James W. Belk, chairman of the
Texas Wing cadet advisory council.

studying at Miami-Dade Junior college and expects to earn his degree
in physics at the University of
Florida.
And Michael O'Quin a senior
physics student at the New Orleans
campus, Louisiana State University.
These ﬁve cadets make up one
of the most elite groups in the
entire Civil Air Patrol cadet membership. Only through extremely
hard work and personal determination have these cadets earned such
high honors.
Roach is the ﬁrst cadet to earn
the Falcon Award. He entered the
Civil Air Patrol in 1957 and by
1964 had traveled more than 35,000
miles participating in about 125
different CAP events.
He also found time to earn his
CAP Pilot rating. Roach attended
six CAP encampments and held

As students progress, subject

Flying and Leadership Hold
Interest of Corvallis Ofﬁcer
CORVALLIS, Ore.--The Corvallis Composite Squadron's new commandant of cadets is ﬂying enthusiast Capt. Nancy A. Richards,
CAP, wbo occupies a position held
by her husband several years ago.
Last summer Captain Richards
led her squadron cadets to the drill
~ompetition championship at the
Joint Oregon-Washington wing summar encampment at Fairchild AFB,
Washington. The squadron also
I>ossessed the daily Honor Flight
banner more than other squadrons
altending the encampment.
In recognition of the outstanding leadership displayed by Capt~in Richards at the encampment,
she was awarded the "Best Tactical Ofﬁcer" trophy.
A mother of two, Captain Richards had attended six previous
summer encampments.
Captain Richards was ﬁrst introduced to CAP in 1955 by her husband, the late Stuart A. Richards,
w h o w a s t h e n a c t i v e i n C A P. A
year later she organized the cadet
l~rogram for the Corvallis CAP
unit.
Since then, she has held numer¢us posts, including coordinator for
~omen, assistant commandant of
cadets, aviation educationist, per~onoel ofﬁcer, and squadron commander.
]n 1964 Captain Richards was selected to represent the Oregon
Wing at the National Information
~)fﬁcers Conference and the National Board Meeting. She considers this her biggest honor.
Currently the commandant of
cadets, Captain Richards also
serves as information ofﬁcer and
testing ofﬁcer for the squadron.
The attraetiw young mother
works as a substitute teacher in
the Corvallis School District and
enjoys working with teenagers and
her CAP friends. "Some of my clos.
est friendships,"~ states Captain
~iehards, "have been made through
CAP."
Although not a rated pilot, Caprain Richards has more than 40
ﬂying hours to her credit, has soloed, and owns her own airplane.
She holds a restricted radio-telephone license.
The new cadet director attended
Paciﬁc University on an honor
~eholarship and received a bachelor
degree in music education from the
University of Washington.
Though busy with Civil Air Pa.trol activities and her two children,
Scott and Shelly, ages two and four,
Captain Riehards has time for
crafts, skiing and of course ﬂying.

Book Tells AirMail Story

ELMHURST, lll.--Once in a long,
long time, a book comes along
which is truly "must" reading for
everyone interested in aviation.
The new "SAGA OF THE U.S.
AIR MAIL" is one of these books.
The "SAGA" is an authoritative,
accurate and complete history of
the beginning of modern air transportation, by the men who made
the system work. It is also fascinating reading.
It has 127 pages and more than
375 photographs, most of them
culled from members'" private col
lections and never before published.
Publishing the "SAGA" was a
project of the Air Mail Pioneers,

Rocketry Assembly
SHEBOYGAN Composite Squadron, Wisconsin Wing, has started an extensive model rocketry class
among the cadets. The cadets assemble the models under the leadership of seniors and then ﬁre
them at the nearby county Memorial Airport. Here, after weeks of work, a successful launch is
made with all "systems go."
( A l l p h o t o s b y L t . L u G i e f e r, C A P )

FIRING the rocketry is only half the job. The cadets assemble
the model kits under the leadership of seniors. The rockets
must be put together correctly or many hours of work is destroyed on the launch pad.

Theory

Begin Countdown
DURING the countdown, cadets and senior advisors check the fusing and electrical circuits to insure a good launch. Not only is proper launch technique stressed, but also the important ground
and rocket safety.

BEFORE THE cadets ever begin work on the model rockets, instructors teach the theory behind the launch. Each cadet must
thoroughly understand the rocket before he moves to the assembly and ﬁring phases of the program.
