i -1 Division V-l Division is the cornerstone of the building blocks that make up the Air Department. Manned by Aviation Boatswainis Mates fHandlingJ, it plays an integral part in RANGER's flying mission airwing support. V-I consists of various job assignments such as aircraft handling crewmen, aircraft elevator operators, aircraft tow tractor drivers, crash and salvage, and aircraft directors as well as the required administrative and maintenance personnel. As the key to sucessful Flight Deck operations, the bulk of V-l Division works long and demanding hours which stan two hours prior to the first launch and work steadily until well after final recovery. At that time, a small, yet proficient night crew, takes over the tasks to provide the air wing with assistance in performing required maintenance. A job with little time off. It gives an individual a strong feeling of self-satisfaction and accomplishment when he sees an aircraft go off the pointed end and recover safely at the end of its mission. V-1 Division is the true meaning behind the words, Pride in performance equals profession- alism, arid it shows in the attitude of those who move the birds so well. ABH2 A. Pfarr ABI-I2 R.
