Lexington (CVA 16) - Naval Cruise Book

GREEN FLAG FOR TAKE-OFF IS POINTED SKYWARDS, THE WAY IT LOOKS TO PILOT. ANGELS AND HDW! Lifeguards, messengers, all-around workhorses of jobs of every decrip- tion, the helicopters and men of Helicopter Unit One perform a job, the Value of which cannot be measured. It seems difficult, indeed, as you look at the angel hovering above the Lex's Wake or chopping the distance between ships in a task force to a minimum, to imagine a Navy Without them. Utilitarian, vastly important to the Welfare of today's pilots, fighters in their own right as sub-killers, and just plain handy to have around, the uchoppersv and the men who Hy them and maintain them Work on call during all daylight hours. They ,seem to thrive on it.
