Welcome to the fifth issue of Carrier Aviation News, a regular newsletter
that actually looks like one,

Want to contribute? then mail me David McCandless and maybe I can
publish it here. Thanks to all those who have sent me mail and
sugestions.

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
through her great spaces in the sky,
be with them always in the air
in darkening storm or sunlight fair,
Oh hear us when we lift our prayer
to those in peril in the air.
