My Apologies
To those who have
Sent their names and additional information that I have not
added yet.
The project has become very large and even 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

Cruise Patches
1960/61 Cruise Patches Provided by George W.Lewis
"Fill 'er up, purple shirt . . . ."
The V4 Division purple shirts are responsible for
fueling and defueling all aircraft
on board Independence

Responsible for all JP-5 and AVGAS issues and
receipts. The Division averages 82 men assigned
to operate equipment in pump and filter rooms on
the 7th deck and the flight deck where actual
aircraft fueling and refueling is conducted.

Quality is of prime importance to V-4 so that they
can provide "clean, clear and bright" fuel to aircraft.
To do this, constant vigilance is maintained
both above and below decks.
