Woman in Coveralls Beside Training Aircraft Wing, Flying School Album Photo

A young woman poses in flight coveralls beside a training aircraft at a civilian contract flying school, one of many facilities that supported the US Navy's V-5 Aviation Cadet program during World War II. The handwritten caption notes she 'ran the college shop,' suggesting she was part of the civilian community that supported cadets and staff at these training fields, illustrating the broader social fabric surrounding wartime flight training.
