(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 538, § 8691; renumbered § 9253, Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, § 806(b)(9), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1833.)

10:291c (proviso) and the words “after June 30, 1948”, in 10:291c–1, are omitted as executed. The definition of the term “flying officer”, in 10:291c, originally was a definition of the term “flying officer in time of peace” as provided by section 2 of the Act of July 2, 1926, ch. 721, 44 Stat. 781. Section 1 of the Act of October 4, 1940, ch. 742, 54 Stat. 963, eliminated the words “in time of peace”. As a consequence of that amendment, 10:291e (1st 26 words) is omitted as surplusage. Clause

(2)is substituted for 10:291c–1 (less last 10 words). The words “commissioned officers or warrant”, in 10:291c–1, are omitted as surplusage. In clause (4), the last 19 words are substituted for the words “any other”.
