I just ran across a veteran record that says the person served in the "Air Ser Fly School" in Reno, Nevada.  I created a category for it but can't find any good information about it.  Anyone know anything about it?

I found this article about an Air Force school in Reno during WWII, not WWI. Here's a great video that contains original footage of an unidentified WW1 United States Air Service Flight School.

I don't know about the school but the field was used for the First Transcontinental Reliability and Endurance Test in October 1919.  [[Rudd-1810|Charles Maples Rudd]] commanded the field for the Test.
