Image Description		A few days after they returned to West Point from basic flight training, Stewart Field, outside of Newburgh NY, 10-15 miles to the northwest of West Point. was completed and dedicated. After the ceremony ended, the cadet's work began with instruction in faster basic trainers. Besides flying several hours each day, they attended ground school in code, instrument flying, and navigation. When added to regular "cow" academics of Chemistry, Mechanics, and Languages, their days were always full. For day after day this was to continue with solo work, instrument flying and aerobatics, adding more hours to their log books which was to give them the further foundation toward their advanced training during their Firstie year (paraphrased). Ernie is most certainly in this picture, however who knows where. The planes in the background are mostly AT-6 "Texan" two-place advanced trainers which were the advanced classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in World War II. Although not as fast, it was designed to have all the characteristics of a high-speed fighter. Records show the "Texan" was used to train more military pilots from more countries of the world than any other aircraft ever built before or since.
