Scope and content
Several thousand spectators line the fields of Fort Lewis to observe the massed military might of the 1941 Army Day demonstration. Airplanes of the 99th and 116th observation squadrons would swoop and dive, followed by the 10 ton tanks, 99th Anti Tank Division, the armored reconnaissance cars of the 3rd Recon. troop and the 98th Field Artillery with their pack mules. The military men would march in an inspection parade and take part in a mock battle. The program for the public lasted one hour. (T. Times 4/8/1941, pg. 1)
