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.

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.

0 ll V V-4 handles the air oHice, the metal shop, aviation radio and radar, oxygen, and plenty of good coffee. Up on the flight deck the division works in Pri Ely and down below they take care of the parachute loft. Don't be misled by the variety of jobs: they operate together like Captain Kidd's crew in home port. Kneeling, left to right: L. V. SVOBODEY, R.E. BAILEY, K. P. TRAGESSER, E. HANSEN, F.G.
