The only documentary in the film series= The Millionaires' Unit, tells the little known but inspiring story of a s=all group of volunteers who created America's first naval av=ation reserve unit.  Also known as the First Yale Unit, the group was=formed before the United States entered the war by a dozen Yale University=students, many from wealthy families, hence the name Millionaires' Unit.&n=sp; Fascinated with the possibilities of aviation, and naval aviation in p=rticular, they learned to fly and ultimately persuaded Congress to establi=h the Naval Reserve Flying Corps in 1916.  They were used as America'= first aerial coastal patrol unit.  One of the unit's members, Lt. Da=id Ingalls, was the first U.S. naval aviator to become an ace, flying Sopw=th Camels with the RAF.
