In the Glasgow Historical Museum is paperback book written by C.D. Markle.
"A Flying Start Into The Big Sky:: This close to 100-page softback book was published in 1998 and is co-autored by Pat Gudmundson, Helena; Gene Etchart, Glasgow and Orval Markle, Glasgow. This book is instrumental in preserving Montana aviation flying school history and looks back at the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) that trained more than 150 Montana pilots in the program. The story speaks to the late 1930's when WWII was brewing and President Franklin D. Roosevelt and military leaders felt that impotant U.S. interests would cause us to become involved in the war alongside our future allies England and France. The U.S. was unprepared for war in all aspects and in 1938 President Roosevelt announced his plan to train 20,000 college-age students to fly annually. In 1939 classes were approved and started in Montana.
