| STAFF OF PARKS AIR COLLEGE. BILL SMALL IS 9TH FROM LEFT (NO HAT) IN FRONT ROW |
 |
| NICE FORMAL PORTRAIT OF MR. SMALL IN HIS DRESS UNIFORM FROM PARKS. |
 |
| HEAD ON VIEW OF A FAIRCHILD PT-19/26. PARKS WOULD ADD CANOPIES TO THEIR PT-19s, MAKING IT EASY TO MISTAKE THEM AS PT-26s. BCWs PT IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS. |
 |
| THIS GIVES US AN IDEA OF PARKS' COLOR SCHEME. IT IS IN THE PREWAR BLUE FUSELAGE AND YELLOW WINGS. THIS IS A 1940-41 AIRCRAFT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE TAIL, IT WAS ORDERED IN 1940. INDICATED BY THE BEGINNING "0" IN THE TAIL NUMBER. LATER PLANES, LIKE OURS WERE SOLID SILVER. THIS PHOTO WAS COLOR RESTORED |
 |
| MR. SMALL AND AN UNNAMED CADET. PERHAPS IT'S A POST SOLO FLIGHT PHOTO. THE SOLO CELEBRATION |
 |
| ANOTHER UNNAMED CADET IN HIGH ALTITUDE FLYING GEAR. |
 |
| BILL SMALL AND A UNNAMED CADET IN A PT-19/26 |
 |
| FAIRCHILD ON A FLY-OVER. |  |
| PT ON FINAL APPROACH. THE CREW AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY SUGGESTS THAT IT MIGHT BE A "SUPERVISED" 1ST SOLO. |
 |
| EVEN WITH AN AIRCRAFT AS EASY TO FLY AS THE FAIRCHILD, ACCIDENTS DID TAKE PLACE. HERE ARE THE REMAINS OF ONE SUCH ACCIDENT. NO DETAILS ARE KNOW AS TO SURVIVORS IN ANY OF THE ACCIDENT PHOTOS HERE... |
 |
| ANOTHER FAIRCHILD... |  |
| YET ANOTHER PT CRACK UP. THIS WAS PROBABLY 1940 TO EARLY 1941 DUE TO THE PRE-WAR INSIGNIA. |
 |
| THREE CADETS IN WHAT APPEAR TO BE A-9 FLIGHT COVERALLS. |
 |
| PERHAPS THE EMERGENCY CREW IN A MORE LIGHT HEARTED MOMENT. |
 |
| A COVER TO THE AUGUST 1943 PARKS NEWSLETTER. NOTICE THE HANGAR AREA AND DIRT LANDING FIELD. BCW's PT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN IT'S 5TH MONTH OF SERVICE. |
 |
| A NEWSLETTER SUPPLEMENT DESCRIBING THE DETAILS OF THE EDUCATIONAL DEFERMENT PROGRAM. THIS ALLOWED STUDENTS IN TRAINING FOR "WAR ESSENTIAL" JOBS TO CONTINUE IN SCHOOL RATHER THAN BE DRAFTED PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF TRAINING. |
 |
| AN AT-6 THAT HAS BELLIED IN. WE HADN'T HEARD OF ANY AT-6s SERVING AT PARKS, SO PERHAPS THIS ONE USED THE FIELD AS AN EMERGENCY FIELD. |
