Title: Roscoe Turner
Description: (1895-1970) Arrives at Naval Air Station Traverse City, Michigan, 24 November 1943. Turner, a noted air racing pilot and aviation showman, was a civilian during World War II, and presumably flew the civil light plane seen here. He held the title of Colonel in the Nevada National Guard. His military uniform type clothing may reflect this honor, though it lacks rank insignia. The device on his cap features the inscription Aero Co__. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
