Original identification documents belonging to Edward P. McAleer, tracing his path into World War II naval aviation: a 1942 Selective Service registration, U.S. Naval Reserve aviation cadet enlistment papers, a swimming test certificate from the Naval Air Training Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, and a military tobacco ration card issued as a 1st Lieutenant. Together they document the bureaucratic journey of a young American from civilian draftee to commissioned aviator. Project: 218138
