Four young people, three Naval Aviation Cadets in khaki flight uniforms and a female companion, pose together beside a training aircraft during World War II. Identified in a period caption as 'MacDougal, Drouet, Melios and I,' this informal snapshot reflects the personal side of the U.S. Navy's V-5 program, which prepared cadets for flight training at elimination bases nationwide before they advanced to primary flight instruction.
