One of the ob- jectives of the squadron has been to test out the feasibility of placing enlisted pilots in command of planes. Lieut. Com. G. F. Chapline, who has been given credit for the de- velopment of the unit, is convinced that the tactical employment of en- listed pilots, assoclated in squadrons with officers, readily adapts itself to fighting plane organization. He took the squadron through the formative stage, every phase of training and built it up from 12 to 18 planes, 14 enlisted and six officer pilots and a ground crew of 75. With an officer leading each sec- tion of three planes, the training of the unit was bcgun in combat tac- tics at the naval air station at San | Diego.
