Civil Air Patrol Movies from the 1970's

Capt Demetrius Wren dug up these old Department of Defense movies from the 1970's.  They are quite informative and entertaining.  Have a look at what CAP was doing 40 years ago!

  1. Nice. It's funny how the same CAP concepts remain, but, man, those uniforms and haircuts!

    I'm reminded of the training films I saw in Army basic training in 1994...they all dated from the 60s and 70s.
