Naval Reserve Flying Corps

The Naval Reserve Flying Corps (NRFC) was the first United States Navy reserve pilot procurement program. As part of demobilization following World War I the NRFC was completely inactive by 1922; but it is remembered as the origin of the naval aviation component of the United States Navy Reserve, the Naval Air Reserve.[1]

Many Naval Reserve Flying Corps pilots trained in this Curtiss Model F seaplane.
