George W. Fetherman AN
V1 - Rep 8,
1958 - 1960

Let me know when you were aboard so I can add you to "Ships Company / Air Group / Marine Detachment Pages".

This Page Updated 05.24.07 gwf
Dave Foley "Sparrowhawk"

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".
