Link Trainer Logbook

Description

Over 150,000 women served in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in WWII. Although many of the women served in the Army Nurse Corps, women also worked as laboratory technicians, armorers, typists, radio operators, weather observers, cryptographers, control tower operators, parachute riggers, sheet metal workers, photograph analysts, and many other jobs as the abilities and readiness to serve of the WACs were acknowledged.

The owner of this logbook was Doris M. Deering, a corporal in the Women’s Army Corps and a Link Trainer instructor at New Castle Army Airbase at New Castle, Delaware, from 1944 to 1945.

The logbook is stamped Air Navigator’s Log on the front and was used by Corporal Deering to record her instruction of students on the Link Trainer.
