S141: Air Transport Command Enlisted Personnel Study

a. To provide ATC Special and Morale Services with data on two main topics:

  1. The post-war job aspirations of enlisted men with particular reference to military or commercial aviation
  2. The current and local needs for changes in orientation emphasis

b. In addition, the office of A-1, ATC, has become interested in the study’s possibilities of providing date on problems of morale and other personnel matters.

c. To some extent this study is an extension of S-106-E (Post-war Plans) and it may be seen that many of the same questions are used for comparability.
