DIVISION Who ' s Got My Brownie? From the sixth deck to the 07 level OA Division supports Air Operations in varied ways. The daily air plan, issued by the Air Operations section itself, is the signal for most of this activity. Air Operations performs many other functions in support of flight operations, such as relaying flight information to ready rooms. Topside, the aerographers collect weather data on an area of over 13 million square miles. Aerology then reports its gue — findings to the ship and to other weather units. A large part of OA efforts is concerned with photography. The Photo Lab has the never ending job of satisfying the many photo requirements of the ship. Besides routine tasks, such as identification photos, accident and damage pictures, and cruise book work, the lab must process and file all the tactical photography so vital to offensive operations. After intelligence photographs have been proces- sed, prints are subjected to the scrutiny of the Photo Intelligence section. These specialists can tell goats from sheep in a picture taken from five or so miles in the air. All flights, even routine training ones, require that pilots have tactical information. The Air Intel- ligence office, sometimes known as the bum dope central, provides the necessary briefing material to squadron intelligence officers. With over 300,000 charts and almost as many operation orders, the AIO ' s busy themselves with the big picture between air plans. FRONT ROW : R. L Salazar, R. K. Yorgason ; SECOND ROW : J. C.
