Civil Air Patrol

 Civil Air Patrol 

1) The Civil Air Patrol was started in 1941, shortly before Pearl Harbor and founded by Texas oilman D.H. Byrd and Cord Meyer, Sr., both early flying pioneers. Byrd owned the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the assassination and Cord Meyer, Sr. is the father of Cord Meyer, Jr., head of the CIA's International Organizations Division and husband of Mary Pinchot Meyer. 

2) Lee Harvey Oswald was a CAP cadet in New Orleans and served under Captain David Ferrie, who he also met with when he returned to New Orleans in the summer of 1963. 

3) The CAP Pennsylvania Chapter had a plan to utilize CAP cadets as undercover informants and have them infiltrate communist and left wing organizations.
