| Well back then it wasn't youth oriented, CAP was created because of the concern over the future of private aviation. So on Dec. 1st 1941 CAP was born and on Dec 8th 1941 General Curry was the first national commander. During WWII our planes were equipped with bombs and depth charges because of this *flashback* One day a CAP plane was patrolling the coastal waters and spotted a German U-boat stuck on a sand bar. The CAP pilot called the US Army to come and take it out. But by the time the Army got there the U-boat was gone. After that incident CAP planes were equipped with bombs and depth charges. *flashback over* WWII was the only time (if i remember correctly) that we were armed and dangerous.
