As an officer in the Naval Pre-Flight Training Program, George demonstrates the trampoline to a group of his cadets at St. Marys California, 1942.
In the Fall of 1940, George Nissen and Xave Leonard, had visited several military bases where they had demonstrated the trampoline as a new and unique method for physical fitness training. They had made visits and given demonstrations at Randolph Field in San Antonio, Texas, Corpus Christi, Fort Benning Georgia and Pensacola Naval ...Training Center.
In mid-Spring of 1941, an order for 30 trampolines was received by George from the United States Navy. He was also given priority papers to purchase the steel tubing he would need in their manufacture. Thirty trampolines at that time was a big order and George would do everything in his power to fulfill the commitment.
