    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''.
