The Big Four of the Operations Department is the Operations Office, Photo Laboratory, Air Intelligence Office and the Public Information Office, all of which are manned by the OP Division. The Ops Office is the clearing house for letters, dispatches, and other of- ficial correspondence regarding my operation. Virtually every planned iob that I perfrom has it's beginning here. The Air Intelligence Office is filled with charts, secret publications, dividers and plotters, and the men who provide the essential information --often highly classifiedm'-needed for planning purposes in future missions. Like any newspaper office, the PIO Office is a place of hustle, bustle, and clacking typewriters. It is here that the daily newspaper is published, ,s --sv 1 . A AV f 'L.. ily - I ,V , . V , I as well as the monthly KEAR SAGA. PIO is also responsible for keeping the hometown newspapers informed of the doings of their favorite sons. Last, but far from least in importance, is the Photo Lab. Their most vital function is the processing of the film used in the cameras of the planes of VFP-61 after photographic recon- naissance missions. Somehow they also find time to record my everyday life on film, shoot identification photos . . . and take and re-take the photos for this KEAR SAGA. ? 1 if ' ..-sb l ,..i., , ns- , .,,
