NAVY PHOTOGRAPHS » -^n \\l^f\ j^pC^Y^ . ^ij!§^ )ffr ^ "^^^ ^~ --,.» ■ IN THIS ISSUE ■:Ar More than fifty-five thousand words and possibly twice that number of minutes of earnest thought have gone into the twenty-nine feature articles written for you by the oflicers and men of Xa\T training films which .ippear in this special issue. It should be obser\ed that more than words, it is the spirit of reflection and self-examination of work done and of the tasks ahead which is the substance of this issue. This field is always learning and these men are learners, too. Together, we as editors and they as contributors, thus provide vou with these lessons learned and learning so that, in education and industr\', the whole field of visual communications may be improved to advance our way of life. Messages of tribute from the producers and manufacturers of these films and of the equipment on which they are shown also appear in these pages. But it is Admiral Ramsey's message on the following page that expresses the final "U't7/ done!" which best represents that great .American spirit of cooperative enterprise beiwecn the men of the Navy and the men of our industry. There has been but one goal: got to be damned sure no boy's ghost will t ver say, "If your training program had only done its job. . . ." —OHC mL
