A forwarded 1945 envelope traces Lt. E.P. McAleer's transfers between Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Quantico's Marine air school, and MCAS Miramar as he moved through wartime training and assignment to Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-441. Below, a flight-line photograph shows a Marine aviator beside single-engine fighter aircraft, capturing the everyday routine of Marine Corps aviation training during the final months of World War II.
