Legislation Relating to the Army Air Forces Training Program, 1939-1945
Abstract
This study recounts the story of the legislative authorization for the Army Air Forces training program from 1939 through 1945. The method of breaking down broad proposals and enactments into a specific category and labeling it "training legislation" was adopted because it makes possible a centering of attention upon a closely related group of legislative bills, whereas treatment of individual bills in their entirety would result in a series of unrelated and involved discussions. Certain subjects treated are personnel legislation in the conventional meaning of the term, but such acts as those creating the grades of aviation cadet, aviation student, and flight officer are basic to an understanding of the training program and have more vital meaning when considered as training legislation. Some of the legislative proposals and enactments treated in the study are primarily civil aviation measures. They were included because they have vital bearing on the military training program. Presentation of the story concerning execution of training programs authorized by this legislation is the function of another study.
