PREP COE Cglflight Quarters is the story of the U.S.S. BELLEAU WOOD, CVL-24. Produced by the ship's company, it presents in picture and word the carrieris experiences on the long road from Camden to Tokyo. WWW y if 55 The title of the book is adapted from the most distinctive call heard aboard an aircraft carrier -the call to 6'Flight Quartersi'-which sum- mons the crew to stations for launching and landing aircraft. The public address system carries the voice of the boatswain's mate throughout the ship, GcFlight Quarters for launching and landing aircraft, followed im- mediately by the sprightly notes of the bugle. This call to flight quarters is a lively call, a familiar call, one we will always associate with the BELLEAU WOOD.
