Pilot's Flight Log Book, June 1943 – SNJ-4 Advanced Trainer Flights

This page from a WWII-era aviator's flight log book documents advanced flight training in the SNJ-4, the U.S. Navy version of the North American Texan trainer, during June 1943. Log books like this one provided the official, hour-by-hour record required to certify Naval Aviators for combat duty, tracking dual instruction and solo flight time as cadets progressed toward their wings.
