Shrouded by a curtain of steam, the men of V-2 ' s catapult gang can be seen preparing for ths next plane ' s launch even before the first is off the deck. Heavy bridles are recovered and hauled back, wheelmen guide the awkward whining bird onto the track, and after last minute checks, another element of MIDWAY ' S terrific striking power is screaming down the deck. So it is that Lt. Geist ' s green shirts culminate the entire ship ' s effort -getting our planes airborne. But this is only half of V-2 ' s story, for the safe re- covery of the aircraft is also their responsiblity. The mirror is set to provide accurate glide slope information for the homeward bound pilot, and each of the five wires spanning the deck is set for the speed and weight of his plane. Once caught, the hook is disengaged, and all eyes and ears are turned towards the next plane following close behind. 160
