On wang: Mcoueen, J. B. AN: Ill Iijhg, 5514, work is never done, or so it seems. They have the responsibility of handling all aviation gasoline, aviation oil and alcohol. Servicing aircraft during a full day's operation is a huge job, some 90,000 gallons of AVGAS and 350 gallons of lube oil are the average daily expenditures. Planes must be serviced quickly and safely: quickly to meet operational commitmentsg safely because exploding AVGAS is six times more powerful than TNT. Furleigh, R: G., ANgCas1le, R.

' V-3. Div The constant flow of aircraft between the hangar deck and the flight deck would seem like a chaotic giant checker game to a landsman. Confusing in appear- ance, the continual rotation of aircraft is actually an efficient exchange to provide the flight deck with its current requirements. The four crews of lfE3 QQLUL UML are responsible for the ship's meeting or missing a scheduled flight operation. The handling crews move planes from their spots to the elevators. One careless movement can damage a plane, maneuvering space is at a minimum. Elevators must work to meet the launch, and these, too, are the responsibility of the Hangar Deck crew. Fire among the closely packed planes is an ever-pres- ent hazard and its prevention is in the hands of V-3. Pause for Plane Pushers. Top row: Salazar, R. AN, Travis, G. S., Jr. AB3, Buzkharf, D.
