Knerr, former deputy commander of the United States strategic air forces in Europe, has been named commanding general of the Air Technical Service command, headquarters at Wright field announced on June 19. General Knerr assumed command on June 20 from Maj. Gen. Lester Miller, chief of the ATSC supply division, who has been acting director since May 23, when Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers was sent to Florida because of illness. Gen. Knerr brings to the Air Technical Service command a wide experience in aviation supply and maintenance. He was largely responsible for creating the supply and maintenance organization which served the Eighth air force in its crushing attacks on Germany. As ATSC director, he will be responsible for engineering, procurement, supply and maintenance of all AAF planes and equipment throughout the world. Long History of Service Although Gen. Knerr has a long history of service with the army, particularly in the air forces, he is a graduate of the United States naval academy at Annapolis. He was commissioned a naval ensign in June, 1908, but accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the coast artillery in September, 1911. Gen. Knerr, who was born in Fairfield, Iowa, on May 30, 1887, started his career in aviation in 1917 when he took pilot training at Rockwell field, Calif. After several tours of duty as an engineer officer, both in this country and Hawaii, he attended a refresher course for flying training at field, Fla., in 1922, and the following year was graduated from the advanced flying school at Carl-stro- m ed on Page Three) 71 Hill Field Enlisted Men Don Newly-Wo- n Chevrons In one of the largest group of.
