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

AIMD Department

74-75 Cruise Patch

"Top quality products!"
IM-2 Division provides a mixed bag of support services
for the Air Wing. The General Maintenance of AIMD
maintains and provides the crew for "Miss Liberty Belle,"
the ship's C-1A aircraft (the ship's mail plane) and
provides specialists in diverse fields for support of the
enbarked Air Wing.

The Power Plants branch performs inspection and repair
of various aircraft engines while Aircraft Structural Repair,
Hydraulic Component Repair and Aircraft Tire Build Up
are the responsibilities of IM-2's Airframe Branch.

The Parachute Loft inspects and services all the types of
aviator's survival equipment and performs maintenance
on oxygen regulators, life rafts, life vests and survival kits,
as well as repacking and inspecting of parachutes.

All Aircraft Maintenance Support equipment (yellow gear)
is maintained by IM-2's ground support equipment
professionals. The Oil Analysis Laboratory runs daily
checks on oil samples for aircraft and ship's equipment to
check for impurities and contamination.
