DescriptionPhotograph, black and white; Personal horizontal image of eleven men in bunk room or stateroom 0111, which the pilots in squadron VA-34 nicknamed Triple Stix. They are all sitting on the bunks or standing in a circle talking. There is one man directly in front of the camera and he is blurred by motion. The men appear to have light skin, although some of them are in shadow. There are bunks and a fan seen in the background.

There is a white border around the image and there is "Dec 67" printed in black ink on the right edge. Back of the photo has "A Kodak Paper" repeating in faint black ink.

A note from the donor identifies the men in the photograph. From left to right: Bernie Fipp, Ben Heald, John Pedisich, Dan Snavely ?, Dick Havican, Neuland Collier, "Pissero" CDR Mike Perrault, and Bob Eielter.
