This page from a naval aviator's personal flight log book records two training flights flown on 10 April 1949 in FG-1D Corsair fighters -- the Goodyear-built version of the famed Vought F4U. Handwritten entries note instrument flight time for each sortie. Log books such as this one, part of the Pat McAleer collection, provide a precise administrative record of a pilot's flight hours and served as the official basis for pay, qualification, and career advancement in naval aviation during the era leading into the Korean War.
