His first solo flight! Elated, discoverer of the fact that he is master of his destiny, newborn of the elements--the artist has caught the spirit of the naval aviation cadet after his first flight alone in a primary trainer. He and his shipmates are keeping alive the proud tradition of the naval service. Tomorrow, whenever it may come--he will respond to the call for combat in the full discipline and training of his cadet days, an alert and capable naval flying officer. He's a pretty fine fellow, the Navy thinks.
