This page, titled 'Fourth Navy Group,' was compiled by a flight instructor documenting successive classes of Naval Aviation Cadets during the intermediate stage of the V-5 program in World War II. Cadet Juan Vance Robichaux of New Orleans is shown suited in a Switlik parachute harness beside his trainer aircraft, ready for a training flight, while group photographs capture the camaraderie of fellow cadets Britton Ryan, William Shannon, and J.N. Mackie Jr. Such personal albums, assembled by instructors and trainees alike, preserve an intimate record of the thousands of young men who passed through Navy flight schools on their way to earning their wings.
