He became Post and Group Commander in July 1935 and served until the following December when he was designated to command the 19th Composite Wing at France Field, also commanding simultaneously the Panama Air Depot and the Post.

Returning to the United States, he proceeded to Patterson Field, Ohio, and served as Commanding Officer of the Fairfield Air Depot, later assuming additional duties of Commandant, Air Corps Weather School, at the same post.
