Flight Clothing Record Pages, 1st Lt. Edward P. McAleer Logbook, 1943–1949

These pages from 1st Lt. Edward P. McAleer's flight logbook document the standard-issue flying equipment assigned to him, from wartime gear turned in at MCAS Cherry Point in November 1945 to additional flight clothing issued during his later Naval/Marine Reserve service at NAS Oakland through 1949. Such meticulous equipment records were a routine but essential part of a naval aviator's official service documentation. Project: 218037
