This 1944 sports page from The Actioneer, the Yuma Army Air Field base newspaper, pairs practical flight-safety training with wartime athletics. A feature on the base's new parachute jump and landing course, led by Lt. Al Derian, shows airmen practicing emergency bailout landings on a purpose-built trainer, while surrounding columns cover baseball, football, and volleyball -- illustrating how training bases balanced life-saving instruction with morale-boosting recreation.
