It is responsible for providing the necessary machinery, apparatus, and equipment to effectively handle and service these aircraft. . Within the Air Department are three divisions - V-1, V-2 and V-3. The V-1 division is primarily responsible for aircraft handling, launching, and recovery. This includes the spotting of all aircraft on the flight deck and hangar deck as Well as the operation and maintenance of the forward and after elevator and the catapult and arresting gear. Other euipment operated by this division includes the aircraft crane, tractors, and the cherry picker, which is used in the event of a flight deck crash. Familiar figures in this division are the blue-shirted plane push- ers, the yellow-shirted plane directors, and the hot papa, in his asbestos rescue suit. The V-2 division is concerned with the maintenance and repair of aircraft and airborne elec- tronics equipment. For this purpose an Aviation Metal Shop and Aviation Electronics Repair Shop are manned and equipped with necessary tools and machines.
