"A City In Itself - This is a partial view of the tented community at Jefferson Barracks, where Uncle Sam has about 4000 of his boys getting their preliminary training in the ground work of the air corps. Compared to pre-conscription days, you'd never recognize the area. With the population of the camp considerably more than tripled, there's a constant buzz of activity as hundreds of eager youths arrive daily to do their bit for the nation's defense program. Coming here unassigned, they are sent on to technical schools, usually within 30 days, where they learn the fundamentals of everything from photography and mechanics to parachute rigging and meteorology."
