Historical Note
The Audio-Visual Aids (AVA) program at Naval Station Newport was developed in September 1942 to bring educators, artists, photographers, film-makers, and writers to create films, models, and graphics to educate the Navy. The program was concentrated primarily on providing training aids for the various service schools operating on Coddington Point. One enlisted man was assigned to each service school as an AVA representative. The exhibition of training films was one of the AVA's main priorities, but they also undertook local productions of training aids for localized use. During World War II, around eighty men worked in the AVA department.
