The opening identification page from the personal flight logbook of Lieutenant W. E. 'Wayne' Bancroft, a U.S. Navy aviator whose service spanned the years surrounding the Korean War. Issued and made effective 21 May 1949, this standard-issue Navy Department form recorded each aviator's official file number and served as the front matter for a career-spanning record of flight hours, missions, and qualifications. Logbooks such as this remain vital primary sources for reconstructing individual naval aviation service histories. Project: 218132
