As a second lieutenant pilot, Louis doesn't have to worry about his living environment on the Enterprise. Whether it is an officer or a pilot, he can receive certain preferential treatment.

For example, in the rest cabin, ordinary sailors need more than a dozen or even twenty people in a large cabin, while pilots have four to six people in a cabin, and there are separate bathrooms; there is a dedicated pilot restaurant on the aircraft carrier, which is the only restaurant in all the restaurants on the entire ship that has food for 24 hours, and the other restaurants close when the time comes.

As a new rookie, Louis was assigned to a six-person cabin. The pilots here were newly arrived in the Sixth Bombing Squadron not long ago. There was even a person who joined later than Louis. The man who had just arrived at Pearl Harbor two days ago and happened to catch up with this flight after completing the report.

"Louis Hunter."

"Kevin Evans!"

This rookie, who is even younger than Louis, is not a rookie in nature. He graduated from the Naval Academy and served on the destroyer for a while. Then he went to Pensacola for flight training, and then came to the Enterprise.

"Do you know? I often heard your name when I was in Pensacola." Evans smiled and joked: "It is the name that all students don't want to hear, but I didn't expect to become a colleague now."

"I just pretend that this is praising me!" Louis didn't know how to respond. It seemed like a good thing to become the 'other other people' as the instructor said?

After sorting out personal belongings, all pilots have to attend meetings, listen to the mission briefing for this departure, and obtain work arrangements for the next period of time: such as the specific arrangements for patrol flight missions and personnel coordination.

Just as the pilots were having a meeting, the Enterprise also made all preparations before departure and slowly left Pearl Harbor.

When he arrived at the cabin where the pilot was meeting, Louis saw Dick, but did not see Dick.

"Dickins belongs to the Sixth Scout Squadron."

Only then did Louis realize that Deakins and they were not pilots of the same "team". They were pilots of the Sixth Bombing Squadron.

The current squadron leader is William Hollinsworth, who is Dick Best's friend and old classmate, so he was accepted by the Sixth Bombing Squadron when he applied to transfer back to the front line and soon became the deputy captain.

So Dick often gets some news in advance and whispers to remind Louis not to be nervous. This time it is just ordinary cruise and reconnaissance missions, but it will not return to Pearl Harbor, but will go to San Diego Military Port to receive a batch of goods.

"Cargo?" Louis really didn't know that the aircraft carrier was still responsible for the cargo delivery?

In fact, aircraft carriers often perform similar tasks, such as transporting some land-based aircraft from North America to an island base.

But this time, what we need to perform is not this kind of transportation mission, but to return to North America to receive new aircraft, that is, the fearless dive bomber that has been confirmed but has not delivered all of them.

There are only a few fearless aircraft on the Enterprise. These aircraft are tested and familiarized with the new aircraft in advance. Next, the Enterprise will go to the San Diego Military Port, where the pilot was responsible for driving the old aircraft to the shore. When the Enterprise left, the pilot took off from the military port base in a brand new fearless aircraft and landed on the aircraft carrier to complete the equipment replacement.

After understanding the situation, Louis knew that this time he had another purpose, which was to use those fearless bombers to familiarize all pilots with the performance of the new aircraft.

Sure enough, squadron leader Hollinsworth quickly stated that all pilots on this trip would have to fly at least three patrol missions in fearless manner, and the specific flight arrangements had been sent to everyone.

The days that followed were nothing special, and Louis quickly adapted to life on the aircraft carrier, because of the regularity and simplicity, and he was repeating similar things every day.

In his spare time, he would go around and see with his own eyes the specific structure of the killer weapon of this era. However, more often he would find a corner to blow the sea breeze and see the magnificent sea - to practice the power by the way.

Life passed quickly, and the pilots' rotation speed was very fast. It was not long before Louis was about to take off on a fearless patrol.

This patrol mission was a dual-air formation, and he served as Dick Best's wingman.

When Louis put on his gear and came to the deck and was about to climb into the Fearless Style, he found that there was no one in the back seat, but some sandbags were piled up.

“What’s going on?”

The ground crew knew that Louis was a newcomer, and smiled and explained to him why he had to put sandbags in the back seat: the aircraft carrier pilot came to the new aircraft carrier and flew the new aircraft on its first mission, for safety reasons, the rear seat would not sit in the back seat, but instead placed sandbags of equal weight.

Louis was a newcomer. He performed takeoff and landing missions on an aircraft carrier for the first time. He was flying a new plane. He took all of several conditions by himself. At this time, no matter how bold the person was, he was unwilling to sit in Louis's back seat.

What's more, this time, all pilots were asked to fly a new plane, which means that during this mission, there would never be any living person in the back seat.

"Don't be nervous, Louis. With your skills, this is just a very simple reconnaissance mission!" After the two fearless aircraft took off successfully, Dick chatted with Louis over the radio: "So we can do a few dive exercises by the way."

Even if they adapt to the new plane, the pilots still had to complete the established reconnaissance mission. After going to the area that had been scheduled for a long time, Dick took Louis to conduct a dive exercise.

Because Louis was a wingman, he had to open the flap a few seconds later than Dick when he was diving, so that his plane could fly to the front of Dick's plane.

When actually performing dive bombing, the wingman has the task of covering the aircraft, which means using his own aircraft to serve as a shield for the aircraft, so as to gain a better opportunity to drop bombs for the aircraft.

This time, Louis leveled the plane at 1,500 feet. When he returned to high altitude in fearlessness, Dick's plane also returned to his side.

"Do you know? Louis!" Dick praised Louis via radio: "If possible, I really want to partner with you all the time, but I think you will soon be unable to serve as my wingman."

Dick felt that with Louis' flight skills, coupled with the current expansion and expansion of naval pilots, Louis will soon bring in new rookies.

"I hope that day will arrive sooner, and being your wingman is not an easy job."

"Hahaha, you're right."

Several more air combat was simulated in the air, and then the two fearlessly flew back to the Enterprise. At this time, Dick began to show off his operations again: "Louis, do you want to try a landing in special circumstances?"

“…”

Louis knew what this guy was going to play when he heard this? Before he could respond, Dick had already started his own sitcom: "My flaps are damaged and cannot be opened."

Then Dick's plane propeller stopped rotating: "My oil has run out too!"

“…”

Louis drove in fearless manner and hovered in the air. Looking at Dick's series of operations, he felt again what it means not to take his life seriously.

He also admired this guy's skills and took the initiative to create various adverse conditions for himself and could still steadily park the plane on the deck of the Enterprise. This is not something that ordinary pilots can do.

Louis did not imitate Dick, but just landed honestly. After parking the plane, Dick came up: "With your skills, those just now should not be a problem."

"I'm just a rookie recruit. You dare to play like this when you were a recruit?"

"Of course I don't dare!" Dick patted Louis on the shoulder. One reason why he dared to do this was that his current boss is his good friend and his qualifications were deep enough. Even if the superior was dissatisfied, at most he could say a few words to him, there would be no substantial punishment.

Louis is different. He has just joined the Sixth Bomber [大天天 www.xbooktxt.info] team, and has even joined the Navy for only a month. He dares to do so once he joins the army. He will definitely teach him a lesson and give him a memory.

After completing the first takeoff, reconnaissance flight and landing on the aircraft carrier, Louis further integrated into the daily life of the aircraft carrier pilot, and time gradually passed by in this pattern and monotonous life.

Before we knew it, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier had completed its established patrol mission and began to sail towards the San Diego military port. The USS Enterprise would dock in the San Diego military port and then carry out maintenance for a period of time.

This is also a chance to give soldiers a holiday to go home to visit their relatives. After all, not all soldiers will be assigned to the Enterprise Service and directly move their homes to Pearl Harbor like Dick.

But this also led to an embarrassing situation: Dick Best and Clarence Dickins of the Sixth Reconnaissance Squadron had to find a way to pass the time after the Enterprise was docked at the San Diego Military Port.

Both of their families have moved to Pearl Harbor. They can't take a warship back to Pearl Harbor, and go back to meet their wives and children, then take a warship back? No one with normal minds will do this.

"How about going to Los Angeles?"

Dick, who proposed to go to Los Angeles, also pulled Louis up. He knew that Louis had no family and that this time the stop would be as good as him and Dickins, so he simply went out for fun together.

Life on an aircraft carrier is very boring. Each time you sail, it takes at least one or two months to more than half a year. The boring days are too long, resulting in the sailors on the ship being like crazy dogs who have run away from their reins, trying every means to vent their excess energy.

Louis has been studying and training hard for more than two years, and he feels that proper relaxation is not a bad thing.

"Go to Los Angeles to pass the holiday? Sounds like a good advice!"
