Flight Clothing Record Booklet Pages, Lt. Bancroft, U.S. Navy, Korean War Era (1950-1952)
A U.S. Navy 'Flight Clothing Record' documents the personal flight gear issued to Lt. Bancroft at Naval Air Station San Diego in July 1950, days after the outbreak of the Korean War. Such administrative records, though mundane in appearance, offer a precise window into the logistics of preparing naval aviators for wartime service. Project: 218132
