Roy P. Ward entered the class of July
1931, the first to be conducted at the newly constructed Randolph
AFB in San Antonio, Texas. His first solo in a Boeing P-12 on
30 July 1931 marked the beginning of a flying career that included
his return to command Randolph Field in 1942. He later was called
to command Avenger Field at Sweetwater, Texas, the home of the
WASPs (Women Airforce Service Pilots) in conjunction with General
H.H. (Hap) Arnold and Director of Women Pilots, Jacqueline Cochran.
