Portrait of "Maguire" in Navy White Combination Cap, V-5 Cadet Album Snapshot
A candid portrait of a young sailor identified only by the surname "Maguire," wearing the white combination cap and fouled-anchor insignia typical of U.S. Navy dress uniform in the WWII era. Informal snapshots like this one, preserved by Naval Aviation Cadets in personal photo albums, document the friendships and daily life surrounding the demanding V-5 flight training program of the 1940s.
