HEADQUARTERS 111OD 201.22 Date: 2 January 1952 Subject: Commendation through: Commanding Officer To: S/Sgt. Wayland M. Mayo 1. During the period 20 September 1951 to 10 November 1951, you were assigned duty as instructor in the 111th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing Air Photographer’s School. The officer in charge of this school has reported to me that you have been an unusually valuable individual to the proper operation of this training course. Specifically, you have demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the aerial photographic career field and have imparted your knowledge to your classes in a manner considered to be well above the average of senior Airmen who normally conduct such classes. Your subordination of personal interests, your ability and initiative, and the enthusiasm which you have exhibited, have all been directed toward the students attaining the high standards desired of our aerial photographers. 2. All of the foregoing is most deserving of recognition, consequently, it is my pleasure to officially commend you for your high level of performance of duty in this Aerial Photographer’s School which is so important to the effective combat operations of this wing. The leadership which you exhibited is most desirable in the senior Noncommissioned Officers of the Air Force Today. Your example of the high qualities desired in our Noncommissioned Officers is a most desirable influence on those younger airmen now entering the Air Force. 3. A copy of this correspondence, with endorsements, will be placed in your 201 File. S. F. MANZO |
