Given the gravity of the occasion, wouldn't a G string be more appropriate? Five demerits for improper flight gear!

Better yet. Wearing nothing at all.

How did those CAP anti-sub patrols go in Kansas? Any kills?

They were after Nazi Catfish.

Few people realize that we were building destroyer escorts in Denver. And any U-boat that got into the South Platte River was done for.
Who said they were on anti-sub patrols? CAP did a lot of other work as well. SAR, powerline, pipeline, and fire patrols among others.
A CAP cadet squadron climbed directly to the site of a B24 crash on Camel's Hump, while USAAF (who said they didn't need any help; "Stay off the mountain and stay out of our way.") searched fruitlessly on the wrong side for a whole day. When they finally found the wreck, the only survivor, the tail gunner, had already been extracted, treated for bleeding and frostbite, and hauled down the mountain by the cadets and their AAF liaison officer (who was a "local boy" home on leave, a very young bird Colonel, and just happened to be CO of the OTU the plane belonged to). He told me years later that crash hit him harder than anything he saw in forty missions in N Africa and the Med, including three trips to Ploesti.

Funny, that reserve P2V outfit out of NAS Memphis never managed to find any Redfleet subs in the Mississippi, either.
They did manage to find one in the Gulf of Mexico that the active duty P3 guys missed. It was hunkered down on the bottom between rigs on the edge of an oilfield, where the P3s never thought to look. (One ballsy sub skipper!) Don't knock the reserves!

Well, if you think that's a bad propping technique, look at this.
