The giant slingshots that fling plane and pilot from the deck of the Phil Sea at 120 per are operated and maintained by V-2. On the receiving end of the deck, the division handles the arresting wires that jolt the plane to a halt in a man-handling 130 feet. This is a stattin' and stoppin' outfit with plenty of can-do.

V-3 Division takes care of the largest compartment on the ship if you Wish to call it that. The hanger deck has been called a barn, a beast and a number of other things we won,t bring up. As much as cities complain about parking problems, they won't outdo a hanger deck crowded with planes during air ops. But it is a real pleasure to Watch the V-3 boys move planes through ticklishly slim inches. E Knccnng, ren to right: v. E. 1-LULMAN, J. WILBANKS, K. M. ALLEN, J. E. CAMPBELL, -I.-I. MANGINO, A. H.
