Two Naval Aviation Cadets, Henry Marton Kennedy of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and Phillip Lewis Meredith of Leitchfield, Kentucky, pose informally beside a training aircraft during their service in the Navy's V-5 program. Dressed in casual work shirts and dungarees rather than formal uniforms, the photograph captures the camaraderie between cadets who came from across the country to train together as America built its wartime aviation corps.
