History
The s=wing" target="_blank">wing was a World War II Command and Control organization which supported Western s=flying" target="_blank">Flying s=training" target="_blank">Training Command Flight Schools in California. Most of the assigned schools provided phase II basic s=flying" target="_blank">flying s=training" target="_blank">training for Air Cadets, although the s=wing" target="_blank">wing also commanded both contract basic (phase I) and advanced single and two-engine Army schools. In addition, an advanced navigation school at Mather Field for Air Cadets selected at the Santa Ana Classification Center was controlled by the s=wing" target="_blank">wing. Graduates of the advanced schools were commissioned as Second Lieutenants, received their "wings" and were reassigned to Operational or Replacement s=training" target="_blank">Training Units operated by one of the four numbered air fores in the zone of interior.
As s=training" target="_blank">training requirements changed during the war, schools were activated and inactivated or transferred to meet those requirements.
