Image via WikipediaOn this date, the Civil Air Patrol was given organizational shape following Pearl Harbor.An excerpt from AllExperts:
On December 8, 1941, Director (Fiorello) LaGuardia published Administrative Order 9. This order outlined the Civil Air Patrol's organization and named its first national commander as Major General John F. Curry. Wilson was officially made the executive officer of the new organization. Additionally, Colonel Harry H. Blee was appointed the new operations director. The very fear that sparked the Civil Air Patrol "movement"â€"that general aviation would be haltedâ€"became a reality when the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harboron December 7, 1941.
