Activation Here Of Air Reserves Is Under Study
Plans discussed here today for activating a Camanche Soai reserve unit with a proposed strength of 140 officers and men. Major Hendrick, a veteran of the recent war, was assured by officials at Tinker Field that personnel and equipment would be sent to the community for training if activated. Invitations were sent to 180 county residents who are members of the air reserve. A squadron would be organized as a one‑unit unit, with Major Morris noting state activation timing would determine leadership and liaison. Training would be ground and flight oriented, with Congress appropriations hoped for to fund maintenance and training, and Lawton listed for priority in reallocation if activated. Milton Kenthag aided in securing information from Chamber of Commerce officials.
