This is a story that could not be told before the date of its broadcast. It is about the creation of the mightiest striking power in the world, the United States Army Air Forces, and how it was made into a potent flying force before the war. In 1939, with the aggressive nations heavily armed for war, this country was training only 550 flyers a year, and no provision had been made to increase this number. Only a small group of Americans foresaw our country's danger, and one of those was named Roy Johnson.
