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.

Air Department

83 Cruise Patch

"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.
