Description

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In the spring of 1940, Maj. Gen. Henry H. "Hap" Arnold came to West Point. His son, Henry Jr., was a member of our class approaching graduation, but that was only incidental to Hap Arnold's visit. He was recruiting pilot candidates for his Air Corps, and if West Point was scarcely an enemy camp, the Air Corps officers assigned there had to make do with an amphibian based in the Hudson River. Aside from that tentative acknowledgment of military aviation, West Point had carried on with little change since the days of Robert E. Lee.
