[Torvald Von Mansee]

Q: I was chatting w/my father about what additional duties a floatplane pilot and his crew on board a capital, non-carrier vessel might have had during WW2. We figured that the pilot would most likely be an officer (though probably not a warrant), and that he would probably also would have had some engineering background in addition to flying, and that he'd probably be responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft and would command the crew that would do that. What would his and the rest of his crew's responsibilities be? Where would they be in the ship's organizational chart? Anything else I could be asking?
