Sexualized Cartoons

The sexualized cartoons below were found in a flight log belonging to Captain Andrew Serrell. Captain Andrew Serrell was a decorated U.S. Navy pilot who served in the World War II’s Pacific Theater and later flew aerial reconnaissance during the Cold War. During this time period, he maintained detailed flight logs that included many columns of data. Attached to most of the pages of his flight log are clippings showing sexualized cartoon depictions of numerous aviation terms.
