My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.

This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.

I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.

Thank You All
For Your Support

V1 DIVISION 1996 - 1997
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
Air Department

"...flight deck drag racers in yellow gear..."

V-1 Division has the vital task of handling aircraft on the flight deck.

Following recovery, aircraft must be spotted for refueling and Maintenance.

The blue shirts and yellow shirts of V-1 are continually respotting aircraft
in preparation for the next launch / recovery cycle. After launching, V-1
men must make a "ready deck" to clear for landing and another recovery evolution.

Maintaining a close vigil on all of these operations are the red shirts of the crash
and salvage crew (aka: repair 8) who must respond instantly to any emergency.

Another part of V-1's job is the operation of "Tilly" the flight deck crane,
capable of lifting any aircraft on the ship.

The teamwork and safety awareness of the men of V-1 to work amid the roar
of the flight deck is all part of getting the job done without a "crunch".
