CAP pilots like Taylor are among today’s “Flying Minutemen” and women, serving much like their prede­cessors during WWII. In those days, CAP pilots flew more than 500,000 hours, logging 24 million miles in their own planes. They lost 64 aviators and 90 aircraft flying often dangerous mis­sions around the country and offshore. They spotted 173 enemy submarines, attacked 57, hit 10 and sank two.
