This page from a naval aviator's personal flight logbook records training sorties flown in July 1948 in the FG-1D Corsair, the Goodyear-built variant of the famed Vought F4U fighter that remained in front-line and reserve service well after World War II. The entries document high-altitude and strafing gunnery exercises, routine training that kept Navy and Marine Corps reserve pilots combat-ready in the years between World War II and the Korean War. Logbooks such as this one provide a firsthand, day-by-day record of a pilot's flying career, preserving aircraft identification numbers, flight durations, and mission types in the aviator's own hand.
