Midway (CVA 41) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 164 text:

Flight quarters for respot blares the bull horn, and before long a deserted flight deck is swarming with activity position- ing planes in preparation for the next launch. Catapults for- ward are cleared, and the muscle men in the blue shirts literally man-handle the huge planes into their designated spots with only fractions of inches to spare. Lt. Frank Jones ' tireless plane handling crews know their job well, and the casual observer never ceases to marvel at the smooth working teamwork dis- played during every flight opera- tion. Flight Deck Control, another V-l function, and honchoed by Lcdr Jim Dozier, maintains an exact replica of the entire top- side space, and scaled cutouts of the planes indicate the posi- tion and status of each one.
