Ellington Field: A Short History, 1917-1963
This page offers a single paragraph with a reference to Hood. The citation reads:
"Because of a lack of military pilots in 1917, the U.S. Army Air Service relied on
civilian pilots to help train cadets. Civilian pilots often had mor flight experience than military aviators. During the war,
Ellingon Field had seven civilian instructors: W.F. Sullivan,
H.B. Crewdson, E.W. Cleveland, G.K. Hood,
W.A. Pack, O.W. Hoover, and
E.H. Lee. Upon graduation, a flight cadet would be christened a military aviator. After graduation, an
aviator was shipped to Europe for more training and assignment to a combat squadron."
