- WO-1 HENRY J. BOUCHARD V-1 Junior Division Officer FLIGHT QUARTERS! FLIGHT QUAR- TERS FOR RESPOT ' PILOTS NOT RE- QUIRED. Just who is required, and why are they called even more often than the man with the night ' s movies? The Air Department, and specifically V-1 Division, handles the movement and spotting of planes on the flight deck. From a vantage point in the midst of flight deck activity, V-l ' s work seems a chaotic ballet of waving arms and roll- ing planes, but there is metliod and experience to the madness. Launches do occur on the split second, because V-1, working out of Flight Deck Control, has provided a way and a space for every aircraft. With close to one hundred aircraft on board, moving and spot- ting for the repeated flight cycles during a day of operations re- quires the coordinated efforts of every man. There are no stars. LCDR JACK E. WAITS V-I Division Officer )R HORACE N. MOORE, JR. Aircroft Handling Officer CDR JACK H. CRAWFORD Assis anf Air Officer

To move the large planes quickly and safely, V-l controls the numerous yellow tractors used for towing aircraft, as well as flight deck operation of the deck edge elevators. Tillie, the mobile crane is also a piecfe of their equipment, and is used to hasten damaged aircraft from the flight deck so that operations con continue with the least inter- ruption. •:i tsmMm —;-i sf y ' SBSvKms;! mmr ' smx9eBTTnB I The handling of aircraft is a never-ending job; it is not unusual that V-l sees the rest of the crew to bed at night and to rise the next morning, working long after the last plane has landed; and then again only a few hours later, before Reveille and the next day ' s air opera- tions.
