Chairman's comments...

From the commander

Good News and Bad

CAP to S uppo r t POW-MIA

by Brig. Gen. F. Ward Reilly

by Brig. Gen. Richard N. Ellis
Response to last month's article on
the plight of United States prisoners of
war in Southeast Asia has been
outstanding from both sides of the
CAP-USAF structure.
In my judgment, it offers a classic example
of the swift, thorough, and professional results
we can obtain by working together in a positive
manner
General Reilly forcefully
stated the Civil Air Patrol
Corporation position in
describing the POW problem
as "'a legitimate and very
personal cause..." At the
National Executive
Committee here August 21,
CAP's Board Chairman introduced a stinging
resolution which was unanimously adopted by
the committee.
(General Reiily's resolution is displayed in
its entirety with the special POW-MIA feature
on page 16, of this issue. ! commend it to you
as an important document-a milestone-in
Civil Air Patrol history.)
Immediately following adoption of the
resolution, General Turner and his Finance
Committee rushed through a special fund to
purchase I00,000 bumper strips. These will be
forwarded to all units in mid-September. All
CAP and USAF personnel are urged to use
these messages whenever and wherever possible
as a permanent, visible declaration of our
concern for the American prisoner of war
tragedy.
Once again, I would remind you that our
mission in this grave matter is to get more and
more Americans involved and to encourage
them to express their concern. To some, a
letter-writing campaign seems prosaic but let
me assure you that it is effective. It is not a
"slam-ham" operation! It's a long-range project
and it takes time but our prisoners have lots of
time, just sitting in their cells.
Personally i believe the leaders of North
Vietnam do care about American and world
opinion. And if they think they can gain
something by bowing to it, they will. 1 CAN'T
TELL you how many letters it will take to
convince Hanoi that this country is concerned
for its captured or missing servicemen; 1 CAN
TELL you that yours is urgently needed.
I have been asked if USAF personnel on
active duty can join in the letter-writing
campaign. Of course; and you can include
name, rank, and title, if desired. That's the
opinion issued by USAF's Judge Advocate
General's Office. It did caution, however, that
the ".. actual contents of the letters must be
restricted to the subject of humane treatment
of POW's by North Vietnam and must not
invade the political arena."
A s i s a i d e a r l i e r, w e ' v e s e e n s o m e
encouraging signs already. Before October,
1969, only about 600 letters and cards had
been received from just 110 men. Since then
more than 1200 more letters have been received
and more than 200 additional men have been
allowed to write.
That may seem trivial, but just imagine how
much it has meant to the families of those two
hundred men. One brief postcard could wipe
out months, even years, of agonized
uncertainty as to whether their husbands,
fathers, and sons are dead or alive.
Again, my congratulations to all who
launched our program in high gear. Now it's a
national project and we've got to keep the
machinery rolling in the manner which has

made Civil Air Patrol a great humanitarian
organization for nearly three decades.
Welcome Aboard, Sir
Another milestone in CAP history was made
at our recent NEC meeting when General Reiily
announced that General John P. McConnell had
accepted the position as Executive Consultant
t o t h e C i v i l A i r P a t r o l . ( S E E S TO RY O N
FRONT PAGE.)
Speaking personally and professionally, it
will be good to work again with General
McConnell. This organization-and every man
and woman in it-will benefit from his
experience and knowledge as a world leader in
aerospace matters.
These benefits will be in many areas but ! m
certain our cadets will be of special interest tO
him. General McConneil's concern and personal
efforts on behalf of young people are well
known It became clear to me when ! had the
privilege of serving with him in the Strategic Air
Command. Later, in his more than four years as
Air Force Chief that reputation stretched
around the globe when he became known as
"the airman's general."
Statements made by General McConneU
while on active duty sum up his feelings.'~
Today, they're still on target. ! think all of us
involved with the cadet program would benefif
by remembering his advice:
"People are still our most valuable asset,
and we must continue to seek the best
possible career opportunities for them.
Ultimately, the quality of our officers
and airmen will determine how well the
Air Force succeeds in its mission. Today's
Air Force has an unprecedented need for
perspective, imagination and intellectual
resiliency I .am convinced that continuing
improvement of career incentives is a
'must' in getting and keeping people with
these attributes...You hear and read a
lot these days about the faults of our
youth, of their lack of patriotism and
purpose, of their radicalism and
immaturity, of their preoccupation with
sex and dope. But vocal though they are,
these youngsters are only a minority that,
fortunately, does not represent the
nation's youth. To me, the young airman
who had earned the Silver Star, and
untold others whom ! met during my
frequent trips to Southeast Asia represent
the real youth of the country."
The Chief was talking about young people
on active duty but none who know General
McConnell and his long, valued relationship
with Civil Air Patrol will doubt for a moment
that these same thoughts apply to all CAP
cadets.
..A Leaner Mixture

On an early overseas flight the passengers were awakened by the
announcement "This is your Captain speaking to you from the flight
deck, I have good news and bad news, the good news is that we have
been making exceptionally good speed, the bad news is that we
don't know where we are."
Your flight crew of the past two years has aligned the guidance
system with much of the philosophy and objectives presented to you
in this column. Very soon your corporate officers will select a new
crew. The guidance system will be realigned with
some of the same and many new policies and
objectives. The good news will be that we are
making good speed and know where we are and ~~~
where we are going.
~
You will be interested in the items of good ~
news in our journey of the past months as well as
the bad news for which we all hope there can be a ~,~
solution. Some of the more prominent check ammmr~
points contained in the log of good news are:
1. Executive Consultant: Gen. John P. McConnell, U~A~' ttetlrecl
former Chief of Staff USAF, eminently qualified by a long and
outstanding career in the Air Force has accepted the office of
Executive Consultant. His guidance and assistance will be of
immeasurable value to the organization in the advancement of both
the cadet and senior programs. The authority to create a position in
this area was approved by the NEC and confirmed by the National
Board three years ago. It is fortunate that we have waited until we
could find a person with the capability to far surpass the area of
activity originally contemplated.
2. Insurance: Effective 15 July 1970, all current Senior Members
are insured for $1,000 covering accidental death while participating
in authorized Civil Air Patrol Activities and world wide aircraft
accidents as a pilot or passenger on Standard Air Worthiness
Certificated or scheduled common carrier aircraft.
Supplemental, world wide, 24-hour-a-day accident coverage in
units of $5,000 to $25,000, with optional coverage for aircraft
pilots, is available to Senior Members with the broadest coverage at
the lowest rates.
3. New Membership Categories: Two new membership categories
have been created by action of the National Board. The General
Aviation Membership will enable persons dedicated to the
furtherance of aviation but not interested in regular participation in
the Senior Member Program to become affiliated with CAP by
payment of dues. Business Membership will enable business
organizations to become sustaining members and particularly those
with aircraft fleets to contribute to the support of the CAP Search
and Rescue Mission.
4. Senior Member Pilot Upgrading: Pilot proficiency evaluation
and upgrading will be scheduled for each Region in connection with
authorized Air Mobility Exercises. AOPA and CAP will co-sponsor
the outstanding Sky-Safe Program which has been so exceptionally
successful. This program is conducted by highly qualified
professional certified flight instructors.
The generous response by voluntary contributions of Senior
Members to the Pilot Upgrading Program has made it possible to
offer $30,000 in scholarships which will be made available to Senior
Members with valid FAA Private Pilot Rating or above. The
scholarships will provide one-half of the Sky-Safe tuition fee for
ground and flight instruction. The recipients will be required to
furnish a suitable aircraft for the one and one-half hour flight
instruction.

In Corpus Christi CAP had
more than 50 personnel on the
scene, providing assistance in a
host of ways.
While the Corpus Christi
cadets were helping civil defense
officials with the wave of frantic
telephone calls, a handful of
CAP teenagers was helping the
American Red Cross move
patients from the Corpus Christi
Memorial Hospital to nearby W.

If any service was available it

! ii!!iiiiiiii!

Most of Corpus Christi's 200,000 residents were without fresh water after Hurricane Celia had
ripped city water lines so CAP Texas Wing members brought water containers from Brownsville to
assist in relief operations.

On the morning of Celia's
approach, the Texas Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol had been put on
alert to send its 5,000 men and
sundry emergency equipment
into action if needed. By
nightfall, it was evident that
CAP was needed.
Not only did the Local CAP
squadron respond to the
disaster, but units from as far

Of CAP's help, Commander
William Bickford, executive
officer at the air station, said
"Without CAP's aid, it would
have been impossible for us to
monitor our activities in the city

more precisely, without radio
capability to coordinate relief
actions we would have been out
of the ball game."
Equipmentwise, CAP utilized
ten radio-equipped jeeps, two
trucks and the communications
bus.
Back in the public affairs
building, Lou Harrell, civil
defense director, was quick to
praise the work of the cadets
helping with phone calls. "Those

Harrell said that the
youngsters had worked around
the clock with the rest of the
relief volunteers, getting very
little sleep.
One of ~he girl cadets helping
out, Sara Fowler, lost her home
in the hurricane. In her bedroom
when the roof was ripped away,
and the wall began to buckle,
she recalled her first thoughts,
"God, I am dead." She suffered
a minor cut on the left hand.
CAP senior members assisted
in numerous ways, from
ha ndling radio traffic from
patrolling CAP jeeps to bringing
precious fresh water to residents
of an apartment complex--badly
battered from the 160 miles per
hour winds. Others served as
escorts after a 7:30 p.m. to 6
a.m. curfew had been put into
effect; some relayed damage
reports to the CAP
communications center. CAP
cadets rushed the reports to civil
defense and city emergency
planners in the public affairs

A new dimension was added
to the Exchange this year as
cadets from nine Pacific
countries assembled in
Sacramento, Calif., for a
four-day tour of the capital city
and its history-laden Gold Rush
area.
Like their IACE counterparts
from Europe, the Middle East
and Latin American countries
who traditionally gather in New

representatives arrived in

remained there until July 26

phase of their American visit
with Civil Air Patrol families in
the host states.
Singapore, Hong Kong,
Korea,
Japan, Malaysia,
Australia,
New Zealand, the
Republic o f C h i n a a n d t i n . ,
Philippines were the countries
represented.
The scenic beauty of

ingenuity of the fabled
"Forty-Niners" in wrestling gold
from the earth claimed the avid
attention of the young visitors in
a tour of the Mother Lode
c o u n t r y. W h i l e i n t h e L a k e
Tahoe area the cadets visited the
Ponderosa Ranch, filming site
for Bonanza, an American
western as familiar to the Pacific
country TV viewers as it is to
Americans.
For most of the cadets,
making their first visit to
America, the impression was
generally summed up as "big,
bright and bustling." Big cars,
big airplanes, wide and well-kept
roads and beautiful girls best
describes the varied reactions.
A merican friendliness,
hospitality and frankness also
impressed them deeply.

For one member of the
visiting group,
it
was
homecoming.
Senior Escort Warren Geddes
of the Hong Kong contingent,
was a former CAP cadet with the
Long Island Group in the early
1960's and was an IACE
participant himself--to
Sweden--in the 1963IACE.
Geddes, who currently makes
his home in Hong Kong where
he is employed as a
representative of a New
Jersey-based firm, is active in the
Hong Kong Boy Scout
movement, was invited to escort
the cadet group because of his
fluency in both the English and
Chinese languages.
Finale to the first California
Phase was a colorful
dinner-dance and reception at

the Inn. Some 200 CAP cadet
and senior members joined the
Pacific visitors for the final
evening along with ranking Air
Force and CAP officers.
Col. Howard Brookfield, wing
commander, warmly greeted the
visitors and gave them the
promise of continued new and
interesting events as they
undertook their two-week visit
with CAP families.
Six members of the Korean
Civil Air Patrol and four Air
Scouts from the British Crown
Colony of Hong Kong were
guests for a day at the U.S. Air
Force Academy.

O C D To U s e C A P A i r F l e e t
During National Emergency
\

MAXWELL AFB, Ala.--The
Office of Civil Defense, the U.S.
Army agency which oversees
nationwide civil defense
activities, has beefed up its plans
to use Civil Air Patrol's light
aircraft during emergencies.
The agency has just published
an appendix to its "Federal Civil
Defense Guide" which ottlines
the many possible uses for
privately-owned light aircraft in
case of a national emergency
such as enemy attack.
Ti t l e d " C i v i l N o n - A i r C a r r i e r
Aircraft Support for Civil
D e f e n s e E m e r g e n c y
Operations," it details the Civil
Air Patrol (CAP) organization,
mission, training regimen, and
operational capabilities as a
guide for civil defense (CD)
officials at lower echelons in
making use of CAP planes, men,
and equipment.
The appendix makes two
recommendations for state CD
officials which, if carried out,
would make it easier and more
inviting for CAP volunteers to
participate in civil defense
activities.
One of these would provide,
where appropriate, for state
compensation for physical injury
of volunteers in civil defense
operations.
The other would provide for
enrollment in civil defense and
for issuance of CD identification
cards to flight and ground
personnel who accept
assignments under State and
Regional Defense Airlift
(SARDA) plans. Such cards
would provide easier access to
disaster areas for those
volunteers with a need to be
there.
The appendix also urges CD
and SARDA officials to seek and
provide for Civil Air Patrol
support of state and local
SARDA organizations as well as
for CAP liaison with CD units at
the state Emergency Operations
Centers (EOC) and at the
appropriate EOC in each control
airport area.

He joined Civil Air Patrol in
1949 and served for a number of
years as commander of the
Louisiana Wing, resigning that
position to become National
Finance Officer.

Part of Civil Air Patrol's
mission always has been
cooperation with civil defense
organizations but never before
have details of this cooperation
been so specifically spelled out.
In case of enemy attack, CAP
would be assigned such tasks as:
--Airlifting urgently needed
personnel and supplies;
--Performing visual and
photographic reconnaissance of
disaster damage;
--Carrying out
aerial
radiolngical monitoring;
--Providing communications
through courier flights and its
own nationwide radio network;
and

--Providing air support for
essential priority requirements in
civil defense, survival, and
recovery actions.
Civil defense agencies and
CAP already have working
agreements in force in every
state. In addition, CAP recently
signed an agreement with the
F e d e r a l Av i a t i o n A d m i n i s t r a t i o n
outlining each CAP wing's
responsibilities and mission
under the various SARDA plans
now in force.
In the planning stage also is a
massive civil defense exercise
scheduled in 1971 which would

The intensive four-week
course included two weeks of
ground school and about 25
hours of flying time each for the
Civil Air Patrol cadets.
All instruction was provided
by The Airmen Inc., Cessna
aircraft dealers and flight
instructors, the contracting firm
for the encampment. Flying was
taught in Cessna 150 single
engine aircraft.
At the encampment the
cadets were given the additional
instruction needed to complete

.lutumn Thunderstorms Are Still A Hazard

The United States is still in
the midst of the thunderstorm
season. The worst of the season
may be past in the way of total
numbers of storms, but this is no
time to relax and get
complacent. Thunderstorms are
like golf, it only takes once into
the rough to get into trouble.
Even though the
thunderstorm season is waning
in early fall, the combination of
unstable air, high moisture
content, and lifting action is still
around and capable of kicking
off some violent ..ms. The
trigger that sets a thunderstorm
off is the lifting of warm moist
air past the condensation level
where cumulous clouds form.
Then air entering at the sides
increases the height of the cloud
and the storm begins the

moisture turns to rain drops and

interfaee of up and down drafts
creates sheer effects that can
strain the strongest airplane.
Updraft speed increases with
altitude and can reach 3,000 feet
per minute. Downdrafts begin in
the middle level and diminish as
they approach the earth but still
can reach 2,500 feet per minute.

minor, they can cause temporary

When thunderstorms are
reported near the intended route
of flight, it's well to remember
that they move at speeds slightly
less than the prevailing winds. In
other words, if storms are
forecast nearby they may be
possibly moving right intio your
path. Even if it's clear
underneath the storm, there are
probably strong winds lurking
there to buffet the pilot who
tries to sneak beneath.
The best way to encounter a
thunderstorm is with both feet
on solid ground and then it's
best from a distance. Any
thunderstorm merits the respect
of all pilots and this definitely
includes those storms yet
unborn in this early fallseason.

H E R E ' S W H AT TO D O
IF YOU FIND YOUR S EL F LOS T '
By RONALD G. WHEELER, CF!
Albany, N.Y.
We always like to think that
getting lost is what happens to
the other pilot. Some may even
wonder how pilots manage it
with all the navigational aids
available these days. Still many
people do and you may find that
you are the "other pilot."
If you do get lost one day,
would you know what to do?
Would you have a plan of action
to follow? Do you know all the
means of declaring an
emergency? If your answer is
"No" to any of the above, read
on.

Assume that you have lost
your radio. This could be due to
a total electrical failure, or
maybe you didn't have one to
begin with. In any event, you are
alone and lost. The following
should be your first general
considerations:
-- 1. Don't fight the
problem--stay loose and attempt
to solve it. You won't get any
thinking done if you panic.
-- 2. Analyze and
evaluate--how much fuel is
available and what is the
consumption rate? How long do
you have before fuel starvation
turns that roaring windmill out
front into a deadly silence? Be
conservative on this estimate.
-- 3. What is the weather
like--good, bad, indifferent,
improving or deteriorating?
-- 4. Equipment--what is
functioning?. Do you have
cockpit lights, navigation lights,

equipment?.

There are four electronic
means of assisting the lost pilot:
-- 1. Radio message if, at the
minimum, your receiver is
working.
-- 2. Direction finding bearing
(D/F), if your transmitter and
receiver are both working.
-- 3. Radar detection of
triangular pattern or chaff drops.
-- 4. Detection of
transponder emergency code.
If you are not in
communication with any FAA
facility, go to 121.5 Mhz. If you
have a receiver only, listen to
121.5 Mhz. If you have no radio
and your situation is detected by
radar, assistance will be sent to
you as soon as possible.
Here are the four "Cs" which
should be remembered and used
when you are in trouble and
have a working radio:
-- 1. CONFESS--Admit that
you have problems. Don't wait
until the last minute.
-- 2. COMlVlUNICATE--Communicating means more than
j u s t s h o u t i n g f o r h e l p . Yo u
probably will have to give the
FAA facility some information
such as identification, type
aircraft, estimated fuel aboard,
speed and heading.
-- 3. CLIMB--if you can.
Altitude increases VHF, radar,
and D/F capability.
-- 4. COMPLY--Follow the
instructions of your ground
contact. Help him to help you.
Instructions from the ground
contact are meant to help you.
If these instructions will put you
into IFR conditions, advise the
ground contact of this situation.
So, there you have it. There is
help for you should you ever
need it. Have a plan of action,
but yet don't be afraid to ask for
help should you become
apprehensive about your
situation.
As a matter of fact, on the
next nice day why don't you ask
for a radar approach or a D/F
steer? If the work load is not too
great for the controller, chances
are he'll be glad to do it.

Following is the resolution:
"That the Civil Air Patrol Corporation--collectively and
individually--pursue all means to bring this shocking story to the
American public.
"That the Civil Air Patrol Corporation formally denounce
Hanoi's inhumane treatment of captured United States
prisoners-of-war and their families by adoption of the following:
"WHEREAS, North Vietnam and its allies have classified
hundreds of United States prisoners-of-war as criminals and are
using this pretext to dishonor Hanoi's commitment to the 1949
Geneva Convention to which North Vietnam acceded on 28
December, 1957, and
"WHEREAS, North Vietnam and its allies have refused to
release the names of the United States servicemen held as
prisoners-of-war, causing untold anguish to families who do not
know if their fathers, husbands and sons are dead or alive, and
"WHEREAS, North Vietnam and its allies are subjecting
u n i f o r m e d s e r v i c e m e n c a p t u r e d i n b a t t l e t o y e a r s o f s u ff e r i n g ,
degradation, isolation, inadequate medical treatment and
insufficient food, and
"WHEREAS, these hundreds of valiant United States
servicemen have sacrificed their freedom, their health, and the
peace of mind of themselves and their families in behalf of
freedom for others, and
"WHEREAS, Civil Air Patrol, as the official auxiliary of the
U.S. Air Force, is vitally concerned with the plight of these
prisoners and those listed as missing in action, and
"WHEREAS, Civil Air Patrol has the means, the people, the
desire and a congressionally sanctioned mission to help keep the
American public informed of aerospace problems as well as
