This scrapbook page from the Edward P. McAleer collection documents the dangers of wartime flight training at Marine Corps Air Station Goleta near Santa Barbara, California. A newspaper clipping reports the fatal crash of 2nd Lt. Charles Lowry McCallister, accompanied by a firsthand handwritten account from an eyewitness. Photographs of a training aircraft and a recovering airman round out the page, illustrating both the risks Marine aviators faced and the close personal bonds formed among them during World War II.
