A Chance to Grow
During the past 12 years Civil Air Patrol has helped 261
cadets along the road to higher education. Through CAP
scholarships and grants, these young people have received
assistance totalling nearly $194,000.

Was it worth it? Did this help really make such a diff,'.rence ?
Cadet Lt. Col. Brenda S. Walker of Detroit, Mich, believes that it does. In a letter to National Headquarters recently this young lady explained the impact of a CAP grant
upon her life.
In a departure from the usual editorial I would like
to share her message with all members of the Civil Air Patrol. Miss Walker is living proof that CAP
through its inspirational example to youth
as well as its scholarship program, is fulﬁlling an important role in forming and guiding the youth of this nation.

junky houses on dirty streets and ragged children with
hungry eyes watching diamond dreams shatter into jagged
nio'htmares. I've heard the cries of an oppressed people and
wondered for years on end why no one heeded their calls.
But life was good to me. He gave me wonderful parents
who cherished the simple beauties in life . . . truth, honor
justice and love. They taught me the joys of a happy heart
and the satisfaction of a mind at peace with God and fellowman. I learned early the pride of being American, and stood
on tiptoe so I'd be tall enough to salute the ﬂag.
They taught me to value the teardrops of sorrow as

Phantom Pilot Has 'Hairy' Time
(Editor's note: the following article appeared in the April 1968
edition oJ The Airman, ofﬁcial
~@azine of the U.S. Air Force.)
What's it like to be a combat
pilot in Vietnam? What do you
do mission by mission? The following account is based on the
recollections of Maj. Thomas M.
Hirseb, F-4C pilot who completed 100 missions over North Vietnam with the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing "Wolf Pack" a few
months ago. Dates are estimations.

that SAMs are worse than ﬂak. In
my opinion, dodging ﬂak is like

missile at him and he went into
such violent evasive action that he
lost speed, stalled and fell out of
control toward the overcast below
us. All of a sudden, I saw the pilot
eject! That really surprised me.
Wonder if I get credited for a kill?

in conjunction with C. E. A.
Brown of the Ohio Aviation
Board, the region developed the
"Flying Green Cross Program,"
built around the National S~fety Council's green eross, with
wings attached.
Another region project of
note was the "Point Merit Rating Program" for information
personnel, the forerunner of the
present national
information
evaluation system.
The winning information ofﬁcers each year were presented
trophies, obtained through the
assistance of Charles Scripps,
c h a.i r m a n of Scripps-Howard
Newspapers, who was formerly
associated with the Ohio Wing
information program.
Another signiﬁcant event in
the history of the region was
the pioneer work by region personnel. One of those early CAP
members was Col. Earle Johnson, known as the "father of
Civil Air Patrol."

Mike, now 28 years old, always had a keen desire to become an Air Force pilot--but he
found the road to earning his
wings a little disappointing.
In high school he geared all
his studies toward a ﬂying career. Upon graduation he passed
competitive examinations and

ceived a real jolt.
An ailment he suffered when
he was about 12 disqualiﬁed
him for pilot training.
Disappointed, he decided to do
the n~xt best thing. He accepted
a scholarship to Washington University.
He still carried hope of an Air
Force career and took college
ROTC, winning top honors each
year, only later to be turned down
tot the same reason& He gradu-

ated a civil engineer in 1963 and
started a career at Union Electric.
But he never lost his love for
ﬂying and -- determined to do
something about it--even if he had
to start his own air force. In May
of 1963, he bought the Luscombe
and found a pilot who taught him
t o ﬂ y.
He soloed after 10 hours of lessons. His wife, Nancy Jo, also became interested and soloed shortly
after Mike got his license.
"After a year or so we sold the
Luscombe. I had taught myself to
loop, make tazy eights and slow
rolls in it," he said.
" We t h e n w e n t i n t o p a r t n e r ship with two others to buy a

born, he sold his interest in the
second plane.
T h e n e x t y e a r, s t i l l k e e n l y i n terested in ﬂying and planes, he
joined a Civil Air Patrol squadron.
He was one of 17 charter members of the group which today

cadets and 13 seniors.

Mike found his CAP associates
imbued with his same fondness for

group.
Presently he is training ofﬁcer
and his specialty is aerospace education.

Compare The Features, Compare The Convenience, Compare The Performance. Power that speaks with
authority . . . 200 watts of peak envelope power mput on single sidcband provides talk-power equal to
800 watts AM input . . . and for compatibility with stations equipped with AM receivers only, just ﬂip a
switch to insert carrier. And nothing is easier to opcratc.., just select the channel and pick up the microphone . . . no power ampliﬁer tuning, no loading adjustments, no receiver tuning. Automatic Level Control
(ALC) holds the transmitter output constant under varying voice levels.., the buih-in meter checks ALC
as well as transmitter plate current and received signal strength. Trimming capacitors provide easy, exact
adjustment of transmitter frequency.
Sensitive, Modern Receiver. No drifting off channel with this one, for transm[tter and receiver frequency
are crystal-controlled, locked together, always on the same frequency, always on the same sidcband. And the
Clariﬁer Control corrects the transceive frequency within the .005 % tolerance to assure accurate "netting".
The crystal ﬁlter IF provides the high selectivity needed to eliminate adjacent channel interference. The
product detector provides clear SSB reception with no control juggling. The Local-Distance switch prevents
overloading of the receiver by nearby net stations.
IZ Tube Circuit, 17 Tube Function. Multi-section tubes keep the number or" tubes Tow, yet provide the funcxious required for a sophisticated transceiver. Nearly everything except the front panel controls mount on
one large circuit board for fast, easy construction and a wiring harness makes interconnectioms simple.
