This January 1950 page from Wayne E. Bancroft's personal Navy flight logbook records a month of SNJ trainer flights, logged just months before the outbreak of the Korean War. With a grand total of 188.1 flight hours by this point, Bancroft's meticulous record-keeping, countersigned and approved by a senior officer, illustrates the sustained training regimen that prepared young naval aviators for the combat missions that lay ahead in Korea.
