Gemini Garage Bar Nose Art by – Squadron Posters!

Every fighter squadron in the Air Force (and most US military aviation squadrons) have a bar located somewhere within its domain. it’s currently called a (politically correct) “heritage room”, however it still serves aviators as a sanctuary. One of the most sacred traditional events is the “Roll Call”. It dates back to World War I when technology did not permit radios in airplanes. Reconnaissance aircraft occasionally used Morse-code radios but often removed them to save weight. These aircraft reportedly preferred dropping notes to the advancing forces on the ground. Fighters however, didn’t have any radio equipment but rather utilized formation flying and visual signals to coordinate attacks. At the end of the day, the squadron Commander would summon the pilots and take roll for accountability. Those not at Roll Call were considered missing in action or killed in combat.

Roll calls were not taken lightly. Once the German and Allied armies dug in and trench warfare ensued, pilot casualty rates normally exceeded their infantry counterparts on the ground. Over the entire war, an estimated 20 percent of all pilots were lost and the average pilot only lasted two weeks on the front lines before being shot down. In 1918, the average British pilot lived only 93 flight hours. Often, Roll Call was a sobering moment when pilots accepted the losses of their brethren and came to terms with their loss together.
