Aviation Cadet Claytor W. Hall of Bedford, Virginia, stands on the flight line beside Stearman-type biplane primary trainers during his elimination-training phase in the Navy's V-5 program. Dressed in khakis with a garrison cap and gloves, and carrying a swagger stick, Hall represents the thousands of young Americans who first learned the fundamentals of flight in these rugged, fabric-covered trainers before progressing toward Navy wings.
