USMC Aviator's Flight Log Book — Accident and Flight Rule Violation Record (Blank), McAleer Log Book, Oct 1948-Jan 1952

This page from Pat McAleer's Marine Corps flight log book (October 1948-January 1952) is the official 'Accident and Flight Rule Violation Record' required of every Naval aviator. Left entirely blank, it quietly documents an incident-free flying record during a period spanning the outbreak of the Korean War. Though unglamorous, such administrative pages are essential primary sources, verifying a pilot's operational history and safety record within his squadron's chain of command. Project: 218062
