Titled Stage B Boys, From other instructors, this album page preserves informal portraits of three World War II-era aviation cadets, George A. Ling, Jr., Juan V. Robichaux, and Billy Ferguson, each photographed beside a primary training monoplane. Dressed in flight coveralls and garrison caps, with one cadet wearing a Switlik parachute harness, the group represents fellow trainees grouped by training stage during the demanding early phase of Navy or Army Air Forces flight instruction, when cadets first learned to fly before advancing to basic and advanced training.
