Hand -to-Hand Combat, Gouache, circa 1943. Blood, and brawn, and sweat--the sterner aspects of war confront the Navy's aviation cadets during pre-flight training. Navy fighting men must know the tricks of the grim trade of war--a blow for a blow, and eye for an eye. There's no prize given for being second best in hand-to-hand battle, so a course in physical combat is an integral part of pre-flight training.

Hand Over Hand, Watercolor, circa 1943. Agility and strength are sharpened during the naval aviation cadet's pre-flight course. One way it's done is hand-over-hand work along ropes. There is a practical side, as well, in that some day he may be called upon to work his way through tropical jungles after a forced landing, or utilize his training on vines or ropes in crossing rivers or dangerous patches of jungle growth.

Ground Loop, Oil on Board, circa 1943. The naval aviation cadet still is a long way from the cockpit at pre-flight school. But nevertheless he gets some ground "maneuvers" on these hoops, which sharpen his sense of balance and equilibrium while toughening him physically. Equilibrium, Cadet

Get Tough! Oil, circa 1943. Gift of Abbott Laboratories The Navy's aviation pre-flight schools put a premium on physical well-being and adopt a program of athletics, calisthenics, and games. The purpose is not to emphasize physical condition as a muscle proposition, but to develop pilots able to take in stride the physical drains of combat. The first things a cadet learns at pre-flight school is his part in this program. Physical Condition, Physical Wellness, Calisthenics, Drains

The First Uniform Don Freeman #14 Charcoal, circa, 1943 Gift of Abbott Laboratories 88-159-EO There is no thrill like that which comes when the naval aviation cadet tries on his first uniform. This typical scene shows a cadet getting an initial eyeful of himself in summer whites as a shipmate observes approvingly. Scene
