On the Front Cover
Strikingly keyed to the subject of this month's Pictorial, "Camouflage (WW-1)," is the oil painting of "A Fast Convoy," by Burnell Poole, that depicts the unforgettable 4-piper lines of the USS Allen (DD-6) as she surges to gain escort station on the SS Leviathan. The giant transport is camouflaged in an "Admiralty dazzle" paint scheme, one of several illustrated in the unusual pictorial that begins on page 57. Courtesy of the U. S. Naval Academy Museum.

Thomas Ray
In this, Part II of a three-part presentation, the author tells us about the first three aircraft purchased by the Navy and about the three men chosen to fly them. - N.J.R.O.T.C Diary

A recent graduate of a California high school recalls some of the problems and pleasures of the first year of Reserve Officer Training at his school. - Authority: The Weakened Link

Because officers and petty officers no longer exercise the authority they once did, the chain of command is immeasurably weakened. - Merchant Marine Licenses: Tickets Worth Having
Capt. William R. Hayler, USN (Ret.)
