disneydave Posted August 9, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2007 Jacksonville Naval Air Station (JAX NAS) was officially commissioned in October 1940, when a group of Marines from Parris Island arrived and established a barracks. Over the course of the war instructors at JAX would train and successfully graduate some 10,000 pilots and 11,000 aircrew. The 3,800 acre base eventually became one of the Navy's major training facilities. At the beginning JAX was a Primary Flight School where pilots were taught the basics, but as the war progressed, JAX evolved into a so-called "Top Gun" school for Navy Pilots. The folder in this post was sold to men at the JAX gunner's school, which was actually located in nearby Yellowater, Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
