#25: “Satisfaction Plus” Artwork by Joseph Hirsch. “There are no severer critics of squadron performance than men who constitute Navy ground crews. When performance is high, it is the ground crew which exudes self-satisfaction. This trio of Navy Machinist’s Mates put on expressions of pleased smugness as they critically observe fighter squadrons wheels aloft in formation. Their job is done; every engine purrs like a cat.”

#85: “Task Force Hornets”. Artwork by Lawrence Beall Smith. “The operations island is a grim gray redoubt against the sky, this aircraft carrier steams behind her task force screen with a swarm of fighters at ready on the flight deck. To be first off, planes of fighter squadron stand at Fly One, the take-off spot. Behind them, in order, will be the dive bombers and the torpedo bombers. Meanwhile, as signal pennants snap from the truck, handling crews and pilots await the orders which will send these Grumman fighters snarling into the air.
