Title: "Spoiler, the Original Flight Deck Dope", circa 1943-1945
Caption: "Spoiler, the Original Flight Deck Dope" shows the "Tools" of his trade: Mind on anything but his job, cap unbuckled, no life belt while ship is underway, leaning on the propeller of an SBD. His lack of care wrecks equipment, damages planes, and gets himself hurt. Posed on board a training escort carrier, circa 1943-1945.
