No. 26
July 24, 1942
.U~ C~,_~er_~: The most urgent job is keep plugging on return of active duty
applications au~ to aavlse Wing Headquarters of airworthy planes available ~r
service. Members with speolallz.ed experience as ai .rplane mechanics and on other
ground work of the type~ needed are especially to be sought. It is permissable
to file supplementary statements with applications so that members may set forth
their qualifications in more detail.
P__L~.~E O'A~ERS- IMPORTANT NOTICE--If yoa have been asked to sell your airplane to
another official a~ency and would prefer to use it on active duty for the Civil Air
P a t r o l l e t u s k n o w i m m e d i a t e l y, w i t h f u l l p a r t i c u l a r s , a n d w e w i l l s e e w h a t w e c a n
do. CAP does not buy planes but rents at an hourly rate covering maintenance,
depreciation, operation, and insurance. When flying on CAP missions, your plane will
be in the bands'of competent pilots who have set a high safety record and will be
kept in airworthy condition under the most rigid standards.
RAT___ES OF CO|,~P~.SATION--There has been misunderstanding in some areas as to fetes for
compensation on active duty mi~ions. A per diem of $8 is paid to pilots and $7 to
observers, not as wages but as compensation to cover living expenses. They are paid
the s~e rate on active duty missions whether they are flying all ds,7 or merely
standing by on official orders. In some cases, as on forest patrol, units have sought
to establish hourly rates for personnel. There should be no deviations from rates
set in CAP directives.
P~DIO--In view of the new FCC policy against the issuance of radio license.~ for
itlners.ut aircraft unless essential military need orvltal public service can be
shown, CAP members are advised not to purchase radios until they are sure that their
planes can qualify for license.
Unless a plane is definitely assigned to active ~uty for the Patrol, license
cannot be granted nor can priorities for purchase of ra~io equipment be approved.

recuired for coastal patrol will be receiving licenses. But it is anticipated that
the smaller planes will be used extensively on courier and other services and thus
can be favorably considered as definite assignments develop for them.
Applicants either for radio priorities or licenses should state in their
applications the type of active duty service proposed and give the name of their
commanding officer from whom the facts can be verified.
