MORROW FIELD, 1918

"In 1917, being barred from Army service because of defective vision, I went to Detroit Michigan, to study Electricity and aeronautics, where I later obtained an opportunity to enter civil service as an inspector of airplanes and was stationed at Morrow Field, the Acceptance Park for the U.S. Government - where the new planes were assembled and flown for the first time. At the signing of the Armistice in 1918 I was released."
