Under Hawley's term, the AeroClub ran a fund that trained many of the pilots who later saw action in World War I. The AeroClub was critical of federal legislative lack of support for military aviation.
Some AeroClub members were manufacturers and members of the MAA; but Woodhouse and his friends were critical of the MAA and took every opportunity to accuse the government of scandalous misuse of funding for MAA efforts.
