 Collection
Identifier: U371
Abstract

This collection contains the records of the Civilian Pilot Training Program at DU in the 1940s. Currently there are only two yearbooks of the 1943 classes in this collection.

The two programs were started at similar times, but it is unclear whether or not the two programs were connected academically or functionally.
