Cadets march down Algoma Blvd.
In 1943, the Army Air Corps decided to call up for duty many of its vast reserve of cadets. Requiring numerous facilities to provide cadets advanced training, the army went to the nation's universities, many of which were facing record low enrollments. With budget problems and a WWI veteran as president the Oshkosh State Teachers College made it known to the Army its desire to train cadets. The school's recent history of flight instruction through the Civil Aeronautics Administration and eager to participate, local fly-boy S.J. Wittman, made OSTC a logical choice to host a college detachment.
