This scrapbook page preserves three snapshots from a 1942 Civilian Pilot Training (CPT) camp at Lone Pine, California, part of the nationwide CPT program that fed pilot candidates into U.S. military aviation during World War II. The photographs capture the tented company street where trainees were quartered, a formation of men standing along the tent row, and a striking night exposure showing a trail of light cutting through the darkened camp — a candid glimpse of everyday cadet life before these young men moved on to military flight training.
