HE V-1 DIVISION is the hardest working group on the ship. These are the men who make Air Operations on a carrier what they are to-day. They are responsible for the movement of all air craft from the time they land until they are air borne. Plane crashes and fire fighting on the flight deck also takes up their time. V-1 has a job demanding alertness, hard work, and close attention to orders. It is very dangerous work and the men assigned to this division must be on their toes if they expect to survive the many hazards they ...p:. 5 encounter during operations. Wlien not engaged in respot repair- ing barriers, arresting gear, and the catapults, they get a chance to catch a little sun. With them its very often holiday routine-holiday for the rest of the ship, routine for them. In fact, they were so busy that this write up had to be done for them by some one out- side of the division. But without their long tiring hours of work the efficiency of the ship as a lighting unit would be greatly im- paired. All right, you all Americans, let's go back to work. First row: YV. 0.
