The Air Pilots and Observers Club of Massachusetts hosts its first annual banquet at Young's Hotel with guests including Captain Eddie Rickenbacher and Captain Douglas Campbell. The event aims to unite returning servicemen to promote aviation, encourage landing fields, and spur civilian flying with guidance from the Department of Military Aeronautics.
