Naval Aviator's Flight Log Book Pages, Edward P. McAleer, 1942-1948
These pages from the personal flight log book of Marine aviator Edward P. 'Pat' McAleer document training and familiarization flights in SNJ trainers and F4U/FG-1 Corsair fighters during the mid-1940s. Meticulously recorded flight hours, aircraft serial numbers, and remarks such as 'Division Tactics' offer a detailed window into the flight training pipeline that prepared Naval Aviators for combat readiness.
