there was a very very dynamic president of the war college named harris lanning. in the early 1920's, he was a student. it occurred to him that lessons an amplifiedd be and kept as becker. the then president that set of the modern war college was impressed enough to make him head of tactics. you find lanning writing about each major game he sees in detail saying, this is a really .ood thing the things he notices and set in real life. is this find that you can defend your carrier if you have enough fighters. whoever's in charge of the american fighters makes a special effort to refuel them, but he cannot get the refueled fast enough to move them on the carrier fast enough. a manficer, i think, was named reeves, and if not, reeves was certainly engaged, and he became head of tactics. that is how we learn to operate carriers at very high capacity. effortone would make the worth the price of admission. anyway, it 1930, he comes back as president. he's very impressed by the fact that people do find the games and lessons interesting. he decides to institutionalize it. h
