An Earlybird's Scrapbook

USNAS Porto Corsini

More Reproductions from The Leading Edge, Christmas, 1918

This section incudes scanned reproductions from The Leading Edge, USNAS Porto Corsini's station newspaper. Due to "grain" encountered when scanning print media these scans were made at only 200 dpi. Furthermore, the Christmas edition was printed in red, which affected the contrast of the images. These scans have been converted to grayscale in order to improve contrast.

Top - Inside banner that ran across the top of two pages. (Please click on the image for a larger view.)

Center - Administration and flight roster

Bottom - USNAS Porto Corsini Seaman Guard. (Original caption retained.)

Please note: Not appearing in the roster reprinted above were four members of the crew who died in service:
  • Ensign James Lawrence Goggins

  • Ensign Louis Joseph Bergen

  • Gunner Thomas Leo Murphey

  • Coppersmith George Emmet Killeen
