DIVISICDN Weather can be as important in modern warfare as the largest gun or bomb, and it is through the scientific guess work of the aerographers of OA Division that this weapon can be turned to our advantage. This game is based on science intui- tion, and luck. Flying is the purpose of our Air Group-but to fly, and fly safely the pilot must know the weather-at the ship, at his destination. No one factor determines air operations as much as the weather does. Relying on a myriad of sources of information from radio teletype messages to weather balloons, the weathermen of OA keep us informed. LT. H.A.

?,gTTii- CDC DIVISICN The aircontrolmen who man Air Ops in CIC coordinate and schedule the ship's flight oper- ations, and furnish relative information to pilots. Surrounded by illuminated status boards display- ing Weather reports, ship's positions, nearest land, plane side numbers, fuel states, pilot names, and other pertinent data, they are in constant touch with the bridge for flight changes, with Primary Control for problems affecting launch or recovery, with CIC for technical question on aircraft con- trol, With the Squardron Ready Rooms, and with Flight Deck Control. The end of day only brings preparation for the next, and a break in flight operations is only a chance to fit in more helo trips or TF flights. As long as there is an aircraft in the air or about to be, OC Division is in force. LT. E. D. SCHULTZ, Division Officer , 1 ,,,.
