Ana THE AIR Department of a modern aircraft carrier is a huge and well-organized team ol trained personnel capable of performing an almost endless variety of tasks, often sim- ultaneously. This team is part of ship's company, and is composed of flight and hangar deck handling crews, main- tenance, and plane servicing personnel. The entire Air Department of the U.S.S. LEYTE, com- posed of 13 oflicers and 457 enlisted personnel, is headed by Commander C. E. Ingalls. CDR Ingalls is assisted in his duties by LCDR M. T. Essling. Because of the great number of men involved in the work of the Air Department, it is necessary that the department maintain its own personnel ofhce. This office, supervised by LCDR Essling, is an efhcient part of the department and serves as a coordinating factor between the V-lg V-25 and V-3 divisions. The enlisted men of the Air Department Oflice are under the able leadership of R. E. Inman, YNI, the petty ofhcer-in-charge.
