This 1943 Civil Aeronautics Administration 'Aircraft Arrival Notice' documents a private Piper aircraft flight into the Houston, Texas area, piloted by Ruth Shaw. Such forms were mandated during World War II to track civil aircraft movements for security purposes. The notation 'Navy V-5' in the passenger occupation field links this everyday bureaucratic record to the Navy's Aviation Cadet training program, while Shaw's role as pilot-in-command offers a glimpse into the often-underrepresented contributions of women aviators to wartime civil aviation.
