A yellow monoplane sitting on an airfield with its pilot beside it makes a simple, telling record of Civil Air Patrol flying. The Civil Air Patrol was founded in December 1941, days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, as a volunteer civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Army Air Forces. Its members flew coastal patrols, searched for missing aircraft, and towed targets for gunnery practice, often in light private planes like this one. Pictures of its pilots and aircraft on the field capture the unglamorous, hands-on side of wartime aviation.
