This scrapbook page, hand-titled 'Group II, 1st Section,' preserves snapshots from a U.S. Navy V-5 aviation cadet War Training Service detachment based at Greenwood, South Carolina in 1943, operated in partnership with Erskine College and the civilian Johnson Flying Service. Images show cadets in parachute harnesses beside their primary trainer, the squadron 'Ready Room,' ground instruction in emergency procedures, and the bus that shuttled cadets daily between campus and airfield - everyday scenes from the accelerated wartime pipeline that turned college-age volunteers into Naval Aviators.
