Y., as a private. That was the beginning of a long army career and a , long climb upward through almost all the enlisted grades and the officer ranks until his promotion in September, 1943 to the rank of brigadier general. Served In Ranks Following his enlistment, Gen. Berman spent five years pushing his way up through the non-coratings of the 26th infantry. First he was a corporal, then sergeant, then mess sergeant and regimental supply sergeant. Then on June 30, 1917, at Kelly Field, San Antonio . . the iame field he .returned to as he becommanding general came a second lieutenant. And shortly thereafter he was transferred in grade to the aviation section of the Signal Corps . . . which was the AAF of its day, later to become the air corps snd finally the Army Air Forces. This transfer determined the later career of Gen. Berman, who had been identified with the air forces of the United States Army ever since. He first served as an instructor at' Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Illinois and the University of Texas. He was commissioned a first lieutenant in December, 1917, while World War I was still under m ... way; he became a . captain in July, 1920, a major in March, in 1935; a lieutenant colonel August, 1936, and a colonel in October, 1940, and a brigadier general in September, 1943.

In 1921 he completed the airplane pilot course at Carl strom Field, Florida; in 1922 the bombardment course at Kelly Field, Texas. He received his airplane pilot's rating April 20, 1922, and a rating as technical observer and command pilot in April, 1939. He's been a flying olficer for 21 years. Among his many tours of duty was that as adjutant at Kelly Field during 1922-2In De cember, 1923, he went overseas as commanding officer of the Philippine air depot, where he was stationed until 1925.

The development, growth and accomplishments of this huge war installation are directly attributable to his leadership and took ' place under his guiding hand. It has been said that Gen. Berman personally had passed upon and selected the site of every one of the more than 350 buildings now comprising the Ogden Air Technical Service Command, and the physical layout here is recognized by military authorities as one of the finest anywhere in the United States. OATSC Expansion With the cominff of the war Hill Field and the Ogden Air Depot expanded at a terrific rate. Thousands of employes were added to the payrolls, thousands of mechanics and supply workers were trained for war work, the problems of transportation, housing and the multitude of wartime perplexities were faced. The decisions and the plans were those of Gen. Berman. When the over-a- ll responsibility for jurisdiction over air service command activities in nine states was added to the already heavy duties of the commandant here, Gen. Berman activated and organized under the direction of Patterson Field the existing OATSC setup which is serving the regions of the intermountain mutt be sent way of thewing that wt'vt " WEDNESDAY n .
