The Electronics Division has 40 electronic technicians and 10 electricians highly trained to do the job. In addi- tion to maintaining over 2000 little black boxes and instruments, plus making complete installations of equip- ments while underway, most of the men in this division have added duties as Combat Aircrewmen.

The Line Crew ' s work is never done, from rising moon to setting sun. Work all day, work all night, start again when the sun gets bright. Tie ' em down, wipe the props, sign ' em off for the coming hops. Clean the windshields, oil her up, head for the shack for that welcome cup. All of a sudden the whistle blows, down the hatch the coffee flows. Pilots and crewmen manning birds, believe me, friend, are familiar words.
