1 i THE V-3 SERVICE DIVISION completes the roster of the Air Department aboard the LEYTE, and is com- prised of the Air Ordnance Crew and the Gasoline Crew. It is of course very evident that without these two vital units, none of our planes would be very effective. The Air Ordnance Section is responsible for the transporting and handling of munitions for the planes from the stowage spaces below to the flight deck, where squadron -arming and loading personnel take over and load the planes. All this is a very ticklish business, and requires a high degree of skill and patience, for no mistakes can be made in the arming or handling of these weapons, which demand a delicate touch, and pack a lethal wallop. d b 1? the bo S ofthe va servi e D' V Upper Left: One ofx the many corner iilling stations aboard the Leyte, being manne y more o y . - u c lV1- sion. L. Mayer, AA, W. O. Crouthers, AN, and F. E. Marcuson, members of the flight deck Gas Crew, man their stations. Upper Center: Another ticklish job, being handled with practiced skill by an ordnance loader, as he loads some 20 mm. ammuni- tion into the guns of an FQF Pantherjet, one of Fighter Squadron Thirty-one's planes. Upper Right: To insure proper stowage, these men are loading some 20 mm. ammunition into a box, to await the time when it will be taken up and loaded into the planes. Shown here in this task are: L. Westman, AA, R. T. Aubey, AN, Sc M. Cobb, AN. Lower Left: Another of the many jobs performed by the V-3 Service Division is putting the warhead , exploding force, on the head of the SCARs',,or practice rockets. Shown here are: R. C.Kenfield, AD3, W. Moore, AD3, W. O. Seufert, AA, and S. L. Calahan, AN. Lower Center: Fueling our planes is a never-ending job, for each plane must have a full tank before each launch. Shown injecting some of the high-octane Huid into an F9F jet is E. P. Donald, AN. It's always a case of fill 'er up! - Lower Right: And still more SCARS must be made ready for our planes. These SCARS are much less expensive than the live rockets, and are used during a cruise in constant attempt to make our pilots as proficient as possible in the use of this weapon. i :u -s
