The Snapshots in Time Collection

Gallery: Part 3

Pages from a flight instructor's scrapbook follow successive classes of Navy V-5 cadet candidates through elimination and primary training, with penciled nicknames, first-solo portraits, and biplane and monoplane trainers of 1941-1943. Graduation announcements and a calling card from Turner Field, Georgia, extend the record to the Army Air Forces schools running in parallel.
