This page from a Navy aviator's personal flight logbook records training flights flown in March 1950 aboard Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat fighters based at Naval Air Station Oakland, California. Entries document glide bombing and air support training exercises, with cumulative flight time exceeding 1,000 hours. By this period the Hellcat, the Navy's premier carrier fighter of World War II, had transitioned to reserve and training duty, preparing pilots for the demands that would soon intensify with the outbreak of the Korean War.
