Course Description: During World War II, a number of organizations failed to receive either recognition or credit for their efforts in that war. The five groups I have chosen made significant contributions, but out of neglect, indifference, or secrecy, these Americans were mostly ignored. They are the Flying Tigers, First Air Commandos, Women's Air Force Service Pilots (WASPS), Tuskegee Airmen, and the Submarine Service. Each of the five class days will cover one of these groups.

Course Instructor: Dick Clark graduated from the USC School of Business 1960. In 1997, upon retirement, he joined the Palm Springs Air Museum, a World War II air museum, as a docent and served as such until he was nominated to the presidency of that museum in 2010. In addition, he served on their Board of Directors. During those years his responsibilities included touring groups and teaching classes to new docents and lecturing on WWII history. He has also taught Summer Citizens classes at USU in the past three years on the subject of World War II.
