SEALs in early January 1962, and … to perpetuate Mr. Boehm’s notion per- petuates an injustice to all men who wear this title. Someone besides Mr. Boehm might not have chosen the title of his book, but [I believe] he relished it and very much embraced the fame that came with it. He wrongly lived and promoted this legacy, and now sadly so have MOAA and the ANC. —Thomas L. Hawkins

Editor’s note: According to a statement provided by the ANC, “Roy [Boehm]’s self-proclaimed title as the ‘First SEAL’ is not without both professional debate and petty bickering, but it is very clear and universally understood that Roy was there at the beginning. ... Other claimants to the title of first SEAL can make their cases, but no one can deny Roy Boehm his place in history as an original, and perhaps the original SEAL.”
Remembering WASPs Thank you for the great article and exposure you gave to the Women Air- force Service Pilots (WASP) [Chap- ters in Action and Pages of History, June 2010].

was the only service recruiting fe- males for pilot training in the mid- 1970s. Please note the Navy supported [and] was fully engaged and very suc- cessful in recruiting female pilots, too. My mom’s youthful piloting in
World War II led me to join the Navy to fly. The majority of my fly- ing career was with female pilots
