Description
Wing Tips, Mather Field’s weekly newspaper circulated every Saturday. Started in August, 1941 the paper serves three purposes: it provides news, disseminates orientation data, and heightens morale. The supervision of the paper falls upon Captain Ivan Lefevre of the Special Service Office, and Major David McNutt of the Public Relations Office. Two standout editors of the publication include S/Sgt. Nils Engberg and Mrs. John E. Moss Jr. known to her friends as Jean. Mrs. Moss also served as the Director of Public Relations. Other contributors to the paper are Corporal Doris Day of the 799th WAC Headquarter Co. and Sacramento’s own Cpl. Wayne Thiebaud. Day worked as a staff photographer and Thiebaud as an artist also contributing with one of the publication’s popular feature, a cartoon strip called “Aleck”.
