A/V/M John L. Plant
Assumes Top /Role
13 Flight Cadets To
Graduate Tomorrow
First Long Distance, Call From New Exchange
Montainebleau, France --- The
increasing responsibilities of aeadquarters, Allied Air Forces
Central Europe in the field of
logistics has resulted in a staff
re-organization by General Lauris
Noratad, the commander in chief,
bringing about new emphasis on
this activity. In announcing the
staff changes, General NQrstad
elevated Air Vice Marshal John
L. Plant, CBE, AFC, of the RCAF
from assistant chief .of staff, log-
istics and personnel, to the status
of one of his three major dep-
-- aaties.
A/V/M Plant, 42, was named
to General Norstad's staff last
year, after serving as Air Mem-
ber for Personnel at Air Force
Headquarters. A native of Swan-
sea, in Wales, he was educated
in Vancouver, and has been a
Member of the Regular RCAF
since 1931.
The AAFCE announcement said
that heretofore all activities of
that command had been monit-
• cored by a deputy far operations
(Air Vice Marshal Tom G. Pike,
RAF) and, a deputy for administ-
ration (Brig. Gen, William T.
Thurman (USAF'). The concentra-
tion of A/V/M Plant's staff will
be solely and completely on log-
istics, his previous personnel task
having been shifted to the de-
puty for administration.
No increases in overall numbers
of headquarters personnel are ins
volved at this time, although some
internal changes have been made
in general allotments to make
the re-organization possible.
The actual area of supervision
for A/V/M Plant and his staff
will be in establishment of prior-
orities, the co-ordination of log-
istics plans, infrastructure (air
base construction), supply or-
ganization, maintenance proced-
ures, and general movements of
all types.
The new staff re-arrangement
within logistics makes Colonel
Ephraim M. Hampton, USAF,
from Uvalde, Texas, second to
A/V/M Plant, and carrying the
title of assistant chief of staff,
logistics,
Tomorrow, Friday, August 22,
will mark the happy occasion for
13 graduating Fight Cadets at
Number One Air Radio Officer
School of RCAF Station, Clinton,
The coveted radio officer ".wings"
will be pinned on the chests of
graduates of Radio Officer Course
31. They will receive commis-
sions as Pilot Officers after 36
weeks intensive training as air-
borne radio and radar specialists
in the RCAF. The graduates will
be proceeding to various Air
Force units across Canada.
The "wings" will be presented
by one of the most distinguished
officers in the RCAF, Air Com-
modore A. D. Ross, GC, OBE, Air
Officer Commanding, Maritime
Group, Halifax. Air Commodore
Ross .served as Commandant of
the RCAF Staff College, Toron-
to, from September 1945 until
August 1948 when he took over
as Air Officer Commanding, Air
Transport Command. From that
position he proceeded to his pres-
ent appointment at Maritime
Group in August 1951. The rib-
bon of the George Cross and a
missing right hand and forearm
are reminders of the outstanding
heroism he displayed in 1944
while overseas. Air Commodore
Ross was station and base com-
mander in No. 6 RCAF Bomber
Group when an aircraft returning
from night bombing operations
crash-landed, striking another
aircraft fully loaded with bombs.
The crashed plane was burning
furiously when Air Commodore
Ross, assisted by two airmen,
managed to rescue the pilot and
rear gunner, Exploding 500-pound
bombs resulted in injuries caus-
ing the loss of his hand.
Born in. Winnipeg, Man,, Air
Commodore Ross attended Upper
Canada College, Toronto, and
.3oya1 Military College. He join-
ed the RCAF in 1928 and won. his
pilot's wings the following yea-r.
After the outbreak of war he
served on Canada's east coast in
command of No. 5 Bomber Re-
connaisance Squadron, carrying
.4r. no. • 57.*4;"---..1111..4r...CM-AIT.-.4..
out anti-submgrine' work. Later
he commanded various training
schools throughout Canada. He
went overseas in late 1942, re-
turning to Canada in 1945. He
was.. awarded the OBE for his
general service during the war.
