Naval Aviator's Flight Logbook Page - July 1947, NAS Oakland, California (McAleer Collection)
This page from a naval aviator's personal flight logbook records a July 1947 training or proficiency flight out of Naval Air Station Oakland, California, with the pilot's cumulative flight time reaching 901.2 hours. Spanning January 1942 through September 1948, this logbook traces one aviator's continuous service from the height of World War II into the postwar Naval Reserve era, a period of transition as the Navy shifted from wartime mobilization to a peacetime footing.
