I talked to my stepfather long-distance today. He was in the CAP before joining the US Navy as a flight instructor in 1942.

He said they were allowed to buy aviation fuel for their private planes (he didn't own one, though)and were given a larger gasoline allowance for their cars. He flew several patrols off the New Jersey coast, but they never spotted anything.

Best regards, Vince
