# Naval Aviation has a place for you (photo montage)

Navy aviation recruiting sheet: a central photograph of the carrier Lexington at anchor is ringed by four photographs of mechanics, metalsmith trainees, parked aircraft and a pilot at a plane, with star-and-stripe bands. It lists trades open (pilots, machinists' mates, radiomen, metalsmiths, ordnancemen). The technique is faint here; the national stars and the carrier photo lend prestige to the offer (transfer).
