McClellan Field Personal Guide Booklet, Page 34/Section IV Divider -- Employee Suggestion Program and Aircraft Maintenance Illustration

A page from the McClellan Field Personal Guide Booklet describes the base's wartime Suggestion Box program, which rewarded civilian employees with cash awards for ideas that reduced waste and boosted production. The facing page, illustrated with a red-ink drawing of ground crew servicing a fighter aircraft, introduces 'Section IV' of the guide -- a reminder of the vital civilian workforce that kept America's warplanes flying during World War II.
