This annotated album page from the Pat McAleer collection documents life in Marine Fighter Squadron 112 (VMF-112), a Corsair squadron based at Santa Barbara. The upper photo shows aviators conferring in the ready room; the lower group photo, taken at Okinawa, carries a somber handwritten note recalling a squadron mate, Nick, who lost an eye to a 20mm hit on his final combat hop before returning home.
