Annotation

The AAFTAC (Army Air Forces Tactical Center) Symphonette was a symphonic group consisting of 22
strings and 3 woodwinds (flute, oboe and bassoon) made up of former symphony orchestra and studio
musicians. The group was stationed at the AAF Tactical Center, Orlando Army Air Base, Florida, located
two miles east of the city. Pinecastle Army Air Field, later named McCoy Air Force Base and now the
present day Orlando International Airport, was located south of the city. Harry Salter of the Music
Section and V-­‐Disc staff flew to Orlando for the session and airsickness was reportedly rampant.
