The Civil Air Patrol was founded at a time of
national crisis, mobilizing civilian volunteers to defend the nation as in no
time since the American Revolution. No wonder they were called “Flying
Minutemen.”
In today’s post-9/11 world, it’s instructive to see
how America — and America’s civilian pilots — answered the call to help defeat a
foreign threat on America’s shores and coastal waters.
The story continues through the Cold War to more
recent times in the same spirit of the CAP Sub chasers of WWII.
