B/W photo, August 3, 1940. Barksdale Air Field. Night school conducted by WPA education division for enlisted men. General view of students attending classes directed by Mrs. Gladys Harrison, WPA teacher. The boys are taught advanced English, mathematics, spelling, typing, bookkeeping and shorthand. Six WPA teachers conduct the classes. About 100 soldiers attend classes five nights each week for three hours. They are all high school graduates but must have more schooling to qualify them as pilots. Photo taken during World War II. The total enrollment is 250 boys who are about 20 years old. In peace time, a college degree is needed to become a pilot but due to the national defense program this rigid requirement has been lifted and only a high school education is required. Officers in charge have eliminated unimportant subjects and hold classes in mathematics necessary to aerodynamics.
