The ceremony was unique in the history of the airforce in that it combined the presentation of their pilot’s wings with the in­ vesture of decorations won by several of the men during opera­ tions overseas during the last war. All of the graduates were officers who had served in other air crew ranks during the war and six of them received the Distinguished Flying Cross, two of them with bars. Air Marshall W. A. -Curtis, chief of the air staff, presented the wings and medals. Following the presentation of the wings, badges and decora­ tions, the parade, under Group Captain M. D, Lister, command­ ing officer at Centralia, march­ ed past the reviewing stand in general salute. Nine “Harvard” training planes, in perfect for­ mation, roared overhead as the parade gave the general salute which marked the climax of the wings parade. Lying on a specially arranged stretcher in the airforce tower was Mrs. Jeanne Grindlay, wife of one of the pilots, who stated that it was one of the proudest moments of her life as she watched her husband receive his wings.
