Well, it was an experiment, an experiment that did not work. They wanted us to start out flying 260horsepower vehicles rather than cubs which were 45horsepower, and theres a major difference. The flying part did not bother us, but they made the mistake of putting 20 redblooded american boys in jarvis hall of tcu, the girls dormitory. Back in 1943, that did not work.
