(See “The All-American Air- their calling in the wild blue yonder. man,” March 2000, p. 52.) He became a continuing character in “Terry.” In a famous “Terry and the Pirates” Sunday page from 1943, Corkin opened with, “Let’s take a walk, Terry,” and then delivered an inspirational talk about A Brush With the war and the Air Force as he and the newly fledged pilot Terry strolled around the flight line. The page was “read” into the Congressional Record and reported in the newspapers. Terry, Flip, and their colleagues had a great following among airmen, and the Air Force By John T. Correll the strip had considerable morale and public relations value. Gen. Henry H. “Hap” Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces, assigned an officer to as- sist Caniff with any technical details he needed. Caniff produced another strip, “Male Call,” without charge for camp and base newspapers. It featured Miss Lace, who was reminiscent of the Dragon Lady but less standoffish. It is difficult today to comprehend what a big deal the funnies used to be. Everybody read the comic strips. Characters were as well known as movie stars. The strips were printed much larger than present comic strips are. On Sunday, a popular strip might get a whole color page to itself.

  • Warrior Ethos and the American Airman
    USAFA Photo Illustration by Mark Watkins 24TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM WARRIOR ETHOS AND THE AMERICAN AIRMAN FEBRUARY 23 – 24, 2017 Warrior Ethos and the American Airman This year’s National Character and Leadership Symposium (NCLS) builds on Air Force core values and leadership principles to focus on warrior ethos, directly reinforcing the Air Force Chief of Staff’s emphasis on “getting back to the basics” of our business. This NCLS is designed to illuminate the strength of character that a warrior needs, the kinds of challenges faced in serious, sometimes deadly struggles, and what drives men and women to prevail in times of great adversity. This year’s program cover features members of the Cadet Wing in formation, superimposed on the Center for Character and Leadership Development’s new home, Polaris Hall, which opened its doors in the summer of 2016. The Cadet officers’ sabers reflect the ancient profession of arms, linking yesterday’s warriors with today’s. In the background, the new building’s tower points toward Polaris (the North Star) representing the unwavering moral compass and principles that anchor warrior ethos and the American Airman. The spinning stars of the night sky suggest the dynamic nature of the world in which American Airmen must serve, navigate, and succeed.
