William DeWald wrote a letter on June 10, 1920 to Major L. B. Lent, General Supervisor of the Air Mail Service, reminding him that DeWald was promised a good job.
"Before the war I was always in a responsible executive position of some sort. This position as Pilot does not give me an opportunity to demonstrate my ability along executive lines and I know I would be of more value to the Department in the management of something bigger."
After DeWald refused to make a flight in July 1920, he was fired from the service.
