The origins of the Civil Air Patrol date to 1936, when Gill Robb Wilson, World War I aviator and New Jersey director of aeronautics, returned from Germany convinced of impending war. Wilson envisioned mobilizing America’s civilian aviators for national defense, an idea shared by others. Fast forward 88 years and the Civil Air Patrol has organized citizen airmen that have committed to service to America. Founded Dec. 1, 1941, to mobilize the nation's civilian aviation resources for national defense service, CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground. Here at Rosen Sunvisor Systems, we are proud to be supporters of the Civil Air Patrol here in our home state of Oregon. While we make sunvisors for all forms of transportation, we're proud to be an established member of the aviation community. We count it as a privilege to support the mission of the Civil Air Patrol: to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster and work to keep the homeland safe.
