Civilian Pilot Training Class of 1942 — Edward P. McAleer Album, with Evelyn Sharp Reference
This 1942 photo album page documents Edward P. McAleer's Civilian Pilot Training class, 'The Brigade,' shown in group formation on a desert airfield. A handwritten note references instructor Evelyn Sharp, a pioneering WASP ferry pilot later killed flying a P-38 Lightning in 1944 — connecting this training class to the broader story of American wartime aviation.
