THE V-2 DIVISION is the jack of all trades of the Air Department-Each unit is of major importance with our primary concern being Keep Em Flying . The Accessory Shop gives the aircraft that cold morning start, their specialty being jets, but the boys boast they could even handle the complicated aerplanes the Wright Brothers introduced. The Aviation Repair Shop handles all of the Air Department's metal work, plus a greater part of the ship's tin bending work. We maintain our own parachute loft and our riggers have been known t0 jump with their own chutes without ever having to ask for a refund. The Electronics Shop with its maze of Upper Left: It isn't all fresh air, sunshine, and healthy outdoor activity. Sometimes we have to. stay inside and catch up on our reading, especially if it involves training. M. J. Benjo, AD3, and E. G. Denny, AOUI, look things over in the Education Office during leisure time after hops. Upper Middle: 'Down from the flight deck after another hop goes triple aces, one 'of Fighting Thirty-one's jet planes, The number two elevator is kept very busy during flight operations, just ask any of the boys pictured here maneuvering the plane. Upper Right: An all-important component of the pilot's flight gear-the Mae West , or glorified life preserver, fully equipped, must be frequently checked, as it is here by: C. E. Broom, PRI, J. J. Goodroe, PRI, R. D. Mayberry, AN. Lower Left: . Many hands make light work is apparently the motto for these seven stalwarts. Our photographer had to tell them several jokes to get these broad grins out of them, however, they claim there's nothing like this for developing the Body Beau- tiful. Lower Right: This being a modern ship, we use only modern methods, in this case, using photographs to analyze what repairs are needed. Shown demonstrating the technique to W. F. Parker ADI, is LT. F. Foley, while W. Britten, ADC, and L. T. DeShazo work in the background. ......., ,,- ' ' .v1Wf Mask.-as
